Joey Bensley recounts the 1971 adventure she engaged in with husband, Larry, and her four children: Jim, Bob, Karie, and Bill, as they lived in and explored various aspects of English living. From their first days in London-complete with both adventure and humor, as the American troupe traipsed through the bowels of the city-to living in a small and ancient village, England quickly became a home away from home. She builds her story around the adventures of her family, beginning with Larry's sabbatical that afforded the trip to the antics of her children: Jim's continual love for learning every lore possible; Bob, with his impish personality and ability to constantly challenge the sanity of his parents; Karie's steadfast and innate ability to both find enjoyment in daily living and ensure those she loves most share in that joy; and Bill's wonder at experiencing a new world that is both confusing and exciting from the perspective of a two-year old. Travel with the Bensley's as they engage in a whirlwind adventure through the British Isles.
