Whilst flipping through issues of The Girl's Own Paper from the 1890s, it dawned on Philip Ardagh that he was witnessing tantalizing glimpses of a mystery story unfolding in the seemingly-unrelated illustrations. With these original illustrations and new text, he has created this new story. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

How funny is that? And the plot (and shrubbery!) thickens when sinister attempts are made on Thelma's family's lives, such as when her younger sister is playing the piano when her music teacher "was shot through the window by a markswoman in a hot-air balloon," a moment that's illustrated with a drawing of a woman dramatically holding her hand to her forehead while leaning to look out a window. It's hard to convey how well this little set-up works just by describing examples, but it really does work, and I laughed out loud a couple of times. ( )
