Across the Blue Mountains — Emma Chichester Clark

Miss Bilberry just can't help wondering whether she might be happier if she lived on the other side of the mountains. So, with her cat, Chester, her dog, Cecilie, and her two birds, Chitty and Chatty, at her side, and all her worldly possessions in a wheelbarrow, she sets off to find out. “Chichester Clark's breezy writing style matches the quirky, can-do spirit of Miss Bilberry.”--Publishers Weekly
