Anne has gathered Julian, Dick, George and, of course, Timmy, together for a last nostalgic jaunt in
the countryside together before grown-up responsibilities take the four cousins off in different
directions. It's only natural that they find their way onto Kirrin Island for a look around, as this
might be the last time they're here together as a group.
They are planning just to spend the night there and come home the next day, perhaps with a little
exploring in the dungeon for old time's sake. But that night they hear the country has gone into
lockdown. They are not allowed to leave. With their usual resourcefulness, they are determined to
make the best of it, and remain cheerful and healthy. As Anne keeps saying: They're lucky, really,
to have all this countryside and fresh air at their disposal!
