This volume includes three reissues about intrepid adventurer Jane and her housekeeper: Jane's Adventures in and out of the Book (1966), Jane's Adventures on the Island of Peeg (originally Operation Peeg, 1974), and Jane's Adventures in a Balloon (1975). Though there's minimal character development, the stories are amusing and move briskly from one episode to the next.
