Spring comes to world’s end

With their parents away working on a boat in the Mediterranean, Tom, Carrie, Em and Michael have learnt to look after themselves ­and their menagerie of animals at home in their sprawling house. As their Uncle Rudolph threatens to deprive them of their beloved World's End, the Fielding children are determined to earn the money to buy it themselves. Now that the school has burnt down, the children have more time to find work, helping out with deliveries and at the zoo. But money disappears as fast as it comes in, especially when there are thirty-nine mouths to feed, and time is running out if they want to save their home. First published in 1973, Spring Comes to World's End is the last instalment in The World's End Series. For further adventures with the Fielding children, read The House at World's End, Summer at World's End, and World's End in Winter.
