(1) YA In 1746, Alice's uncle, a Stuart sympathizer, is executed, his head displayed as a warning to traitors. Alice effects a rescue of the head and becomes a fugitive, accompanied by sympathetic hangman Dan Skinslicer. Their madcap escapades (disembodied head in tow) boast nary a pause. A smart, breezy caper, liberally flavored with gallows humor, grandly theatrical in gesture and tone.
