Meriol Trevor Angel and Dragon
9781883937270 i.p.
The adventures of Rafael le Marre and his friends continue in this third book of the Letzenstein Chronicles. Catherine Ayre and her cousin Giles come to Letzenstein in the summer of 1849. Raf is happily married and settled in Xandeln with a crowd of orphans-but Giles, at least, is not impressed with his unconventional ways. After a terrorist bombing in which the Grand Duke is thought to be killed, Julius Varenshalt tries to take political control. Catherine, and even Giles, fears for Raf's life-and indeed it has never more hung in the balance. Ages 9 and up Length: 200 pages Edition: Paperback

Meriol Trevor Following the Phoenix
ip 1883937264 / 9781883937263
Rafael le Marre collects three companions whom he leads on an adventurous journey from Paris to the heart of Letzenstein. The Revolution of February, 1848 has erupted in Paris. Paul and Christie, both English, and Jeanne d'Estel of Valmay each have concerns of their own to pursue. But when the generous-hearted Rafael is arrested by political enemies, harrowing days follow. Important truths of character come to light, and Rafael's stature emerges: the "Phoenix" (which figures on the le Marre family crest) arises again from the ashes. The events of this small, fictional country of Letzenstein imaginatively reflect the political turmoil of the late 1840's. She writes: "In all my books for children I have concentrated on personal relations, usually with the more serious confrontations between the adults - but also adult/child and child with child - occasioned by the general events going on at the time." Ages 9 and up

Meriol Trevor Sun Slower, Sun Faster
ip 1883937418 / 9781883937416
This is an adventure story with a difference—it is soon after World War II, and Cecil (short for Cecilia) along with her cousin, Rickie, are thrown into a series of adventures that have little to do with the England that they know. Inexplicably, they and their eccentric tutor, Dominic, find themselves in another time. With every dip into time they experience another chapter of the Church’s history and teachings. At once fun and frightening, these escapades into the past take on deeper and deeper significance. Each of them are faced with things from their own pasts which touch deeply upon who they are in the present and who they will choose to be in the uncertain but tantalizing future. Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Ages 10 and up

Melisande, a London girl with booksellers' and actors' blood in her veins, often finds life dreary; her family struggles to run a carters' inn, "The Rose and Crown." Then, in November 1849, Rafael le Marre of Letzenstein arrives, bringing Mel's lost cousin Toby with him. New friends and unexpected experiences swirl in Rafael's wake: among others, Melisande meets Catherine Ayre; and Charley the sweeper adds cockney mischief. Raf stirs up the trouble that is native to his frank character in whatever land he is in. But in this case it is Toby who creates the most breathless moments. Several necessary resolutions must occur before Raf and company may set out once again for beloved Letzenstein. Ages 9 and up Length: 208 pages Edition: Paperback
