Plot summary

Clementine Rose Apple-by was delivered not in the usual way in a hospital, but in the back of a minivan, in a basket of dinner rolls. The stories of this little girl begin when she is adopted by Lady Clarissa Apple-by and comes to live with her in the Pennyworth House Hotel in the village of Pennyworth Floss with their butler, Dig-by Pert-whistle, known as Uncle Dig-by. Clementine has a big heart and a penchant for reciting poems that Uncle Dig-by teaches her. She has an unusual pet, a tea cup piggy called Lavender.[3]
