About This Item
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. Binding: Hardback ---Publisher: Hutchinson ---Date: 1987 ---Edition: 1st ---Pages: 132
Description: All of the pages are unmarked, uncreased and tightly bound in red cloth boards with dust jacket in protective mylar. Delightfully illustrated by Peter Chapman
Sometimes fairy tales can come true--even for plain, shy spinsters like Missy Wright. Neither as pretty as cousin Alicia nor as domineering as mother Drusilla, she seems doomed to a quiet life of near poverty at Missalonghi, her family's pitifully small homestead in Australia's Blue Mountains. But it's a brand new century--the twentieth--a time for new thoughts and bold new actions. And Missy Wright is about to set every self-righteous tongue in the town of Byron wagging. Because she has just set her sights on a mysterious, mistrusted, and unsuspecting stranger... who just might be Prince Charming in disguise.
