Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and
Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now. They are accustomed t
o wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part, the
y resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees. Yet the Incorrigibles are not ent
irely civilized, and still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, near
ly destroying the grand house. So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope
, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London. As they explore the
city, Penelope and the Incorrigibles discover more about themselves as clues ab
out the children's--and Penelope's own--mysterious past crop up in the most unex
pected ways...
