Stuart Hall
Alan Garner, who wrote those fantasy stories.

Where - Part of the Osbourne Estate on the Isle of Wight
Why - Like most any childhood retreat, Swiss Cottage was considered the domain of the young princes and princesses, but from the very beginning, the cottage was intended as much for fun as for learning and instruction. Royal though they were, the children were trained to do the basic tasks expected of any average person. The girls were taught to cook and perform household tasks, while the boys were instructed in the ways of carpentry and working the land. All the children were responsible for their own individual portion of the garden and their harvests of flowers, fruits and vegetables were sold -- at market price -- to Prince Albert for use in the royal household. Prince Albert also encouraged the children to pursue his own interest in nature by setting aside space at Swiss Cottage for a collection of natural history objects. As one biographer wrote, "In this little paradise the children did what they liked, but they were shown the best way of doing it."
