One winter evening, Lydia Marmalade arrives at Lady Partridge''s mansion. She has nothing except her sausage dog, Colin, but she''s not going to let that stop her making this her new home.
But Lady Partridge isn''t at all keen to make Lydia part of the family. If Lydia doesn''t behave herself until the end of the winter season, she''ll cast her off entirely. And now her mother''s gone, Lydia doesn''t have anywhere else to live.
