Fifteen-year-old Miss Penelope Lumley, a governess trained at the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, takes the three Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place to London, England, and learns they are under a curse.

A charming and unique book, The Hidden Gallery, is a delightful second book in this new Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series.  Miss Lumley is hard at work keeping the three Incorrigible children out of the way as Lady Constance Ashton desperately tries to repair the house ruined during a party.  It's here the readers continue the story of the governess and her three charges raised by wolves they first met in The Mysterious Howling, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place.

As the household is moved to London during the repairs, Miss Lumley decides to further the children's education through outings in the city. Yet, her best laid plans are gone astray due to a mysterious guide book, new friends and clues to both her and the Incorrigibles' possibly cursed past.
