Having inherited a big estate on the outskirts of London, Octavia is lighthearted as she sets out to see the property. Upon arrival, she comes across two girls—a smart, quiet girl who reminds her of a storybook princess, and her younger sister, a tomboy who looks like a tiny fairy. Confused, Octavia is led by the sisters to meet their uncle Edward Barraclough, who believes she has come seeking a job as a governess... Little does he know she's actually the new owner!
