Synopsis "The King's House (in English)"
For nearly 500 years, the King's House has been home to one of England's finest collections of art, furniture and artefacts, collected by the Weaver family. Surrounded by a glorious garden, hidden behind a high wall, it has remained almost unknown to the general public. When twelve-year-old Dash Hargreaves asks Ellie Weaver, the last surviving member of the family, if she needs help looking after her garden, it is the start of a wonderful relationship and the beginning of major changes in the life of the Tudor mansion. As the years go by, Dash becomes more involved in the care of the house, but this brings him into conflict with an Oxford professor, who has eyes on the property. When Dash meets Jessie, a local artist who is paralysed from the waist down, he ends up helping Jessie's father, who is a police officer, solve a very nasty murder. And when Dash tries to help Jessie walk again, things really start to get interesting... The King's House is a love story, filled with passion, envy, jealousy, laughter, sex, love, some excellent wine, and several dormice.
