The Willoughby childrenTimothy, twins Barnaby A and Barnaby B, and their sister, Janeare fond of all old-fashioned things, but especially old-fashioned adventures. What they arent fond of, however, are their parents. Truth be told, their parents arent the fondest of them, either, and theyre concocting an evil plan to get rid of their children once and for all! Both the parents and the children have plenty of dastardly ideas and tricks up their sleeves. The only thing they dont have is any idea of what lies between them and a happily ever after. Complete with a cheeky glossary and bibliography, this hilarious and wonderfully old-fashioned parody pays playful homage to classic works of childrens literature like Mary Poppins and A Christmas Carol.
