Through their eyes, readers can expect to experience the sights and sounds of London and beyond, as they interact with local children and navigate the differences between American and English customs. At the start of their adventure, John and Betty arrive in England and are greeted by their English hosts, Mrs. Pitt and her children, Philip and Barbara.
