CAN SHE BE THE MOTHER THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED?
The Pearly Queen is really Aunt Edie. Everyone in Camberwell Green loves her Aunt Edie - especially the Andrews family.
Jack Andrews is having a tough time. Not long after he came back from the First World War, his wife decides to leave him and their three children to join Father Peter's League of Repenters - never to return.
Jack and the children manage as best they can, but things are pretty tough until Aunt Edie turns up. Having failed to convince her cousin, Maud Andrews, to come back, Edie moves in and takes over the Andrews family. For the first time in years life begin to look good again.
Aunt Edie: warm, generous, kind, and, above all, their very own Pearly Queen.
