Christina returns to Flambards in 1916, only to find the estate overgrown, deserted, and desolate. With the First World War still raging and most of the men she knows absent, Christina decides to use her inheritance to return the manor to its former glory. But when her plans are well underway, a familiar face appears at her door, throwing everything into confusion. 3rd book in the Flambards series. (Some consider this the last book of a trilogy, omitting the 4th book, which was added some years later.)

The misadventures of four teen-agers from the lowly neighborhood comprehensive school who suddenly find themselves training for a tetrathlon competition against the elite Greycoats Independent School.

Free Rein is a gathering of seminal essays by Andre Breton, the foremost figure among the French surrealists. Written between 1936 and 1952, they include addresses, manifestoes, prefaces, exhibition pamphlets, and theoretical, polemical, and lyrical essays. Together they display the full span of Breton's preoccupations, his abiding faith in the early principles of surrealism, and the changing orientations, in light of crucial events of those years, of the surrealist movement within which he remained the leading force.

In this darker (and more adult) installment of the Flambards series, Christina finds truth in her Aunt's warning about marrying outside of her class. Neither Dick nor the wealthy neighbors desire to associate with one another, putting a strain on Christina's marriage, and leaving the two without any mutual friends. Tensions intensify when Mark returns to live at Flambards, while Dorothy remains in France. Both marriages are pushed to their limits, and tragedy and heartaches ensue as the four try to manage their tangled lives. In this final installment the author takes the characters in directions readers are unlikely to have anticipated. 4th book in the Flambards series. (Some readers prefer to consider the series a trilogy, and to skip this book which was added some years later, and after the television series was made.) Note: This volume covers themes that keep it from fitting into the children's or young adult genre, in which the earlier books are often viewed.
