Bag om The School of Marvels, Wonder, and Knowledge

Regent's Academy in Parsons Spring, New York, trains the pre-school children of well-healed professionals and business people. It's founder, Dr. Leslie Regent, touts it as a school of Marvels, Wonders and Knowledge, and in many ways it is both for the children and the faculty. As their stories unfold, the strange and wonderful loves and lives of children, their parents and the teachers of the school intertwine in unexpected, romantic and sometimes tragic ways. A childhood friendship evolves into an adult obsession that ends in bitter disappointment.

All of them have one thing in common, the school of wonders, the place of marvels and knowledge, Regent's Academy.
