The Bride Prize: Allan's Miscellany 1839 (Volume 1)
The Bride Prize Allan's Miscellany 1839 - Volume 1 Author:Sandra Schwab A medieval tournament in Victorian Britain, two unlikely lovers, a very grumpy editor, and an unfortunate dearth of umbrellas: Join the reporters of Allan's Miscellany on their first adventure as they travel to Scotland to attend the infamous Eglinton Tournament of 1839. ~~~~~~~~ "[T]hese books are dang cute. So freaking cute. You just get happ... more »y by reading." ~ Blodeuedd, Amazon customer review ~~~~~~~~ It's 1839, and Lord Eglinton's tournament in Scotland is the most anticipated event of the year: he and some of his noble friends will don medieval armor and joust like knights of old. Does this mean a revival of true chivalry? Miss Florence Marsh thinks it might. Or is the tournament mere tomfoolery and the greatest folly of the century? Mr. Robert Beaton thinks it is. But when Flo and Robbie meet at Eglinton Park, they'll soon learn that a dash of romance can make the greatest differences look rather small and that true love might find you in the most unlikely place. If only Robbie wasn't working for that scandalous new magazine Allan's Miscellany! If only Flo's father didn't detest the periodical press! And if only they had remembered to bring an umbrella! ~~~~~~~~ Other books in the series: A TANGLED WEB: ALLAN'S MISCELLANY 1846 DEVIL'S RETURN: ALLAN'S MISCELLANY 1847« less
