Hollowdell Grange: Holiday Hours in a Country Home
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Hollowdell Grange: Holiday Hours in a Country Home" by George Manville Fenn is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around a boy named Fred Morris who travels from London to the countryside to stay with his cousins, Harry and Philip, for the Midsummer holidays. As Fred adjusts to the vastly different rural lifestyle, the story explores themes of adventure, friendship, and the charm of country life. At the start of the story, Fred arrives at Hollowdell station on a hot summer day, where he is greeted only by a sleepy porter. Shortly after, he is welcomed by his enthusiastic cousins and discovers the beauty and excitement of country living. The opening chapters detail their playful activities, including fishing and exploring the local meadows, as well as the mischief they find themselves in—such as a chaotic wrestling match that results in a broken water bottle. Through vivid descriptions of the countryside and lively interactions, the story sets the stage for Fred's journey of discovery, illustrating the joys and challenges of experiencing life outside the bustling city.
