An abandoned baby girl named Annika is found by a middle-aged cook from Vienna and brought up in the house of three professors by their two servants. By the age of seven she can bake and ice a three-tiered cake and polish parquet floors. She lives a greatly blessed life until her unknown mother tracks her down.

Reliable Ibbotson quality. She is like Astrid Lindgren, hates when children and animals get hurt, and she “saves” them by writing a good ending to the stories.
Warning for sensitive readers: some animal abuse. A spaniel get burned badly and loses his leg, tail and eye - a horse gets somewhat abused as well.
