4-6Girls of Many Lands series.
When twelve-year-old Elizabethan Isabel embarks on a mini-adventure--she sneaks out with the maid to see a play--she is caught and shipped off to her aunt's in the country. Through a series of improbable events, she is attacked by brigands, joins a theater company, and saves her sister's life during an outbreak of the plague. Details of the period are accurate and interesting.
