Movie Description:
The Young Visiters, writtenin twelve days by nine-year-old Daisy Ashford in 1890, is a surreal blend of naivete, precocious preception andinadvertent social satire.

Promising to introduce her to lords and ladies, he treats Ethelto a visit at the sumptious country house of Lord Bernard Clark, the onlylord Alf actually knows. Their ensuing adventures in London`s colorful high society reveal the young author`s alarmingly keen insights into class, thefoolishness of adults and the power thatyoung girls have over men. Never out of print since itsfirst printing in 1919, The Young Visiters is a classic thatcharms adults and children alike.
