(2) 4-6 Victorian adventurer Miss Vesper Holly is back, this time near the site of ancient Troy as located by Professor Dionescu. But Vesper and friends, including disapproving guardian Brinnie, narrator of the tale, meet with violence when they learn Dionescu is working for a megalomaniac archvillain. Alexander's writing holds many pleasures: his ironic, articulate voice, a lovably imperceptive narrator, and a knowledge of Homer.
