Summary
An illustrated children's story set in the mid-eighteenth century. Sarah is staying at her fashionable aunt's grand house in Nottingham and is forced into the company of George, the spoilt and cruel son of her aunt's best friend. She would rather make friends with Sam, a West Indian pageboy who serves her aunt's chocolate. Sam longs to spend his time drumming, but as a slave he has no way to leave the household. The town's famous Goose Fair becomes the scene of some fateful encounters.
