This, unlike most of Margaret Irwin's books, is not an historical novel. It is a peep-show at recent times, so fantastically gay that this, our London, appears as the iridescent scene of a pantomime or holiday charade. What happened behind the door at which one had to knock four times? Many wildly incongruous happenings, but chiefly an attack on other doors, the 'everlasting doors' of Prince's Gate, Queen's Gate, Emperor's Gate, to make them open wide to the rash young adventurer Dicky who had once gatecrashed them, but was resolved to 'spurn Kensington, march on Mayfair,' and conquer both the New World and the Old. How Dicky fought his way to fortune, and how Celia fought hers to freedom from behind the Gates of Kensington, by knocking four times on Dicky's door, is told in this story, which dances along as irresponsibly as a soap bubble against its brilliantly realized background, shading from the raffish to the respectable. For all its laughter and absurd situations, it is marked with the humorous sympathy and integrity that have distinguished all Margaret Irwin's work.

Book 4 of the series is the first of 3 books which are about an attack on the city of Aletheia. The city of Truth is under threat, and, unless the plans of the Meddlers can be stopped, there will be serious consequences for everyone who lives there. All the favourite characters from the first 3 books unite to form 'The Mustardseeds' - a group of Christian kids who are determined to thwart the plans of the Meddlers. Whilst the chiefs of the city of Aletheia meet deep in the Academy of Solders-of-the-Cross and discuss the defense of Aletheia, the Mustardseeds meet in a barn on Pray-Always Farmlands and do likewise. But in order to succeed, the Mustardseeds must learn more about the power of prayer and the practical truth of Sanctification - being set apart to be used by God. What will happen to Aletheia if the Meddlers' plans succeed and the city stops praying? If there is no prayer power in Aletheia, then the city is already vulnerable to the next attack - which follows in Book 5... Through the adventure, this book explores Biblical truth. This book can be enjoyed on its own - without reading the rest of the series.
