Find out if the General - with some help from his friends - can extract himself from her greedy clutches in this sequel to A Room at Guardian Angel Inn.

About Stephanie Smee
Stephanie Smee is a translator into English of all things literary and French. Having worked as a lawyer in Sydney and London, Stephanie happily traded in a legal career for a return to her linguistic calling.

The Trilogy includes the perenially popular Sophie's Misfortunes, first published in France in 1858 and in print ever since. Her new translation of another of the Countess' favourites, Monsieur Cadichon: Memoirs of a Donkey was published at the end of 2011.
