The Adventures of Lettie Peppercorn

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Poly Bernatene. Lettie's mother disappeared, leaving Lettie a warning not to "set a foot upon Albion, for it can kill you." So Lettie and her father have remained trapped inside their home on stilts for years...until a mysterious snow merchant arrives and sets Lettie on a quest to find her mother. Black-and-white illustrations extend the Roald Dahl–esque whimsy (with touches of absurdity).
