Flambards in Summer
Flambards in Summer is a novel for children or young adults by K. M. Peyton, first published by Oxford in 1969 with illustrations by Victor Ambrus. It completed the "Flambards trilogy" (1967–1969) although Peyton continued the story a dozen years later, and controversially reversed the ending in "Flambards Divided". Set in England just after World War I, "Flambards in Summer" features Christina Parsons as a young widow, returning to the decrepit Flambards estate to recover a life there.
