It's called The Secret of Moonacre. Dakota Blue Richards (Lyra in The Golden COmpass) is Maria, Tim Curry is Coeur de Lion and Ioan Gruffudd is Sir Benjamin. Due out in Feb next year

I loved the sub story between Old Parson and Miss Heliotrope- almost Jane Austenesque.

I found a copy in Oxfam two weeks ago. I loved that ook as a kid, still love it and am looking forward to seeing the film.
Henrietta's House is a gorgeous story too, but can't afford to get a copy at the moment.
