In this delightfully entertaining four-book series, Whittle brings us a wonderfully old-fashioned coming-of-age story set in the early 19th century England during the Napoleonic Wars. He describes the street smart and spunky Lizzie “as a girl who didn’t have a father to educate her to the fact that in those days girls weren’t supposed to think!”
