Description

A tale of survival amid the Great Fire of 1666. Hannah and her sister narrowly escaped the plague, and it appears that it is finally safe to return to their sweetshop in London. Hannah's newfound happiness is short-lived, however, as fires spring up around the city and move ever closer to the Sugared Plum. Will Hannah be able to escape? And even if she does, what will happen to her beloved shop? Mary Hooper has written a gripping sequel to "At the Sign of the Sugared Plum", once again capturing the essence of London in this harrowing - but ultimately hopeful - account of the Great Fire of 1066.

Description

In 1666, Hannah and Sarah escape London, leaving behind plague and death as well as their sweets shop, and when it is safe, Hannah and her younger sister Anne return, only to face the city's Great Fire.
