Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's. <p/>Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Beth Brower<br><b>Publisher:</b> Rhysdon Press<br><b>Published:</b> 09/19/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 264<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.67lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780998063652<p></p>
