| Summary | "The Slowcoach" by E. V. Lucas is a charming children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Avory family, particularly focusing on the four children, Janet, Robert, Hester, and Gregory, as they embark on adventures from their home in Chiswick after receiving a caravan as a mysterious gift. The beginning introduces the family dynamics, their personalities, and the initial stirrings of excitement around the prospect of discovering England in their new caravan. The opening of the book introduces us to the Avory family, detailing their close relationship and distinct personalities, such as Hester's love for history and Gregory's fascination with engines and flying. As the family grapples with the imminent loss of their usual summer vacation spot, they receive an unexpected gift: a colorful caravan, which promises adventure. Tension arises from the enigma surrounding the gift's benefactor and the children's eagerness to explore. This leads to a lively discussion and planning session about their journey, setting the stage for the delightful escapades that await them as they set off on their journey towards Stratford-on-Avon in their whimsical "Slowcoach."
