The House in Cornwall by Manderley Press is a captivating children's book that has recently earned the prestigious title of Children's Book of the Week by The Times in July 2024. This delightful tale, originally crafted by the beloved author Noel Streatfeild, invites readers into a world brimming with adventure and mystery, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Cornwall.
This newly released edition not only revives a forgotten classic but also features an insightful introduction by acclaimed journalist Lucy Mangan, who pays homage to Streatfeild's literary genius while exploring the book's significance in today's context.
What to Expect:
- Thrilling narrative suitable for young readers aged eight and up.
- An adventurous portrayal of the Chandler children's summer holiday at Tregon Hall, the grand seaside home of their Uncle Murdoch.
- A suspenseful storyline filled with danger, secrets, and the eerie behavior of the household staff.
Noel Streatfeild, a proud recipient of the prestigious Carnegie Medal for her notable work Ballet Shoes, takes readers on a nostalgic journey through wartime England. This blend of vintage charm and engaging, easy-to-read style makes The House in Cornwall a brilliant summer read. It's a story that perfectly encapsulates the excitement and adventure every school holiday should offer.
With her passing in 1986, this new edition serves not only as a gateway for a new generation to discover her work but also as a heartfelt tribute to her enduring legacy.

We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’

The House in Cornwall
I had read the book in my childhood and loved it. It was bought as a gift but I had to read it first! Lovely memories.
