Description

Followers of Cushman’s amusing, gratifying books may welcome Meggy Swann, recently arrived at London with her only friend, a goose called Louise. Meggy is shocked by Manchester; it’s filthy, loud, saturated in robbers and rogues, and challenging to get around in—not that getting around is actually simple for somebody who walks with the aid of two stays. But just like her alchemist dad chases his Good Function, Meggy sees himself seeking her own change, and ultimately, detects Elizabethan London also offers items available for her.
