Dreams of the Blue Poppy by Angela Locke

Forbidden to walk because of his illness, Charles Fergusson is growing up a spoiled, sickly child. He dreams of becoming a plant hunter, and of finding the fabled Blue Poppy which grew in his grandmother's garden in Sikkim, but it seems he will be trapped forever in the dark house in the Cumbrian fells. That is, until the feisty, disrespectful Betty comes back to work as a servant at Bambeck Hall. This fiery red-haired girl will turn Charles' world upside down, forcing him to break away from his stultifying prison. But Charles and Betty have a secret history unknown to either of them...His journey will lead him to the great Himalayas, but will he find the Blue Poppy and discover his true destiny?

Angela Locke lives in Cumbria. She broadcasts widely on television and radio, and writes two feature columns for Cumbria Life. Angela holds a Creative Writing MA, and divides her time between writing, teaching Creative Writing and running international Writing Retreats. Her books have been translated all over the world. Angela first saw the Tibetan Blue Poppy growing in her sister's fellside garden in Cumbria. She became fascinated by this rare and beautiful flower and began a journey of exploration which led her to the Himalayas, to research her novel, Dreams of the Blue Poppy. She fell in love with Nepal, and in 1994 founded the Juniper Trust, which now works building schools and basic facilities for the poorest communities across the world.
