So far, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place has six books in the series. Book one, two, and three aren't what you would call boring, stuff happens. But even thought the story seems to take off at a slow start, it really starts getting exciting in the fourth book. The story just has lots of time to build.
Right now in the book (the fourth), about... chapter ten(?), I feel the book has a mix of a proper English day, a pleasant lady, dainty things, but not too(much), and an exciting adventure, full of mysteries yet to be solved, important things to do, and danger to behold. And the wonder of it all! The tales to be told, that when told, will push the adventure deeper, and the mystery closer to being solved. The Latin words, the valuable phrases, the schooling, yet something is wrong, terribly wrong, but what? Alas, she has yet to figure out. When will she (the main character, Miss Lumley) figure everything out? How did everything happen?
The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place is a nice story, one that is sometimes calm, but yet, you happen to be on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. I highly recommend this book for readers that like a story to sometimes be calm, peaceful, thoughtful, and very exciting. The main character (again, Miss Lumley) is very delightful, and always wants to make the best decision. Her pupils (she's a governess) are cute, smart, and sometimes, funny. Again, these books (so far), are very delightful.
P.S. If you try it and it wasn't what you thought it would be, well, I'm quite sorry.

I LOVE this series! I finished the latest book in the series and I'm so sad I have to wait for the next book to come out. It's so exciting!
