Amy Le Feuvre brings together the fortunes of young relatives in this traditional children's story set in Devon. Family visits, household responsibilities and youthful disagreements give the cousins opportunities to discover how their actions affect the people around them. Among the episodes are a ferry-house visit, a picnic and a day away, while Babs's attempts at housekeeping and the boys' quarrels add lively domestic detail. The story combines the appeal of country life with an interest in character, relationships and the small tests of growing up. Published here by Lutterworth Press, Cousins in Devon offers readers an older style of family fiction in which everyday adventures and personal choices share the centre of the narrative.
