Enid Blyton

House-at-the-Corner is essentially a family story and the first chapter opens as Aunt Grace, a shrewd, sharp-tongued and rather interfering old lady, is on her way to stay with the Farrell family. Her memories of the five children are by no means favourable — an impression confirmed when we meet them all in person. Pam, the eldest at seventeen and a half, pretty and clever, but vain, conceited and lazy about the house, is looking forward to winning a scholarship (which no-one doubts she will win, least of all herself) to leave school and go on to college in September. Tony, three years younger, is equally good-looking, equally clever, and equally lazy, but he uses his brains simply to conjure up all sorts of ingenious tricks to play on his unfortunate form-master at school and to have a good time. The ten-year-old twins are the "babies" of the family: solemn, serious and self-reliant, they are totally absorbed in one another and in their passion for gardening, nature and the outdoor world. Finally, there is the plain, gawky, sixteen-year-old Lizzie, the "doormat" of the family who is delegated into undertaking all the chores her brothers and sisters are either too lazy or do not wish to do — like meeting the unwelcome Aunt Grace at the station. Shy and self-effacing, it is only Aunt Grace who perceives that she will surprise the family one day.
