A British Literature, Fiction, Historical book. Quit about a quarter of the way through. Had some of the feel of a book written 100 years...
The carefully observed separation of the old and the new social strata is upset when representatives of each come together in the sphere of Miss Bunting- the governess who has molded most of the country's upper class.

With characteristics aplomb, Miss Bunting takes girls and situation both firmly in hand and sets all things to right.
