About this book

> *The Young Visiters* has long been established as comic masterpiece; many of its entrancing phrases have passed into common usage. It has been dramatised for the stage and television and made into a musical. This classic story of life and love in late Victorian England as seen from the nursery window has been in print ever since it was first published in 1919, nearly thirty years after it was written by the nine year-old Daisy. >Now an entirely new edition of *The Young Visiters* has been produced. It has been illustrated with drawings by Posy Simmonds which are as enchanting and witty as the story. The text has been transcribed afresh from the original and J. M. Barrie's famous preface, written with all the authority of the author of Peter Pan, has been retained.

About Unknown Author

> Daisy (Margaret Mary Julia) Ashford was born in Petersham, Surrey in 1881, the eldest of the three daughters of William Ashford and the sixth child of his wife Emma. She dictated her first story, 'The Life of Father McSwiney', when she was four and finished her last, 'The Hangman's Daughter', when she was fourteen. *The Young Visiters*, her most famous story, was written in 1890 soon after the family moved to Lewes, Sussex. Daisy was 36 when *The Young Visiters* was rediscovered and it was published two years later in 1919. In the following January she married James Devlin and spent the rest of her life in Norfolk. They had four children. Although all five of her other stories that survived from her childhood were published, she never took up writing again. She died in January 1972.
