The Mangrove Legacy

Gothic castles, highwaymen, ghosts, pirates-and a surprising variety of cheeses! 

The adventure begins in the middle of Lord Mangrove's funeral cortege, when cousins Alice and Lizzie are spirited away by masked riders. Next they're sold to nefarious seamen-then captured by pirates, until they're lost at sea without so much as an improving book to read! The two intrepid young women discover romance, heartache, fisticuffs, and the vital importance of pockets.

Heartily recommended to anyone who has a sense of humour, even if comedy, gothic and romance are three genres they firmly shun under normal circumstances. ~ Un:Bound
