Publisher's Synopsis
When young Octavia Bassett arrives in a quiet English village from Bloody Gulch, Nevada, she proceeds to turn the whole town on its head with her un-maidenly behaviour and flashy clothes. 'A Fair Barbarian' is a humorous look at Anglo-American relations by the author of 'The Secret Garden', 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' etc. (Burnett had experienced life in both countries herself).
