The Illyrian Adventure
Vesper Holly is a rather precocious orphan from Philadelphia, and her guardians, Brinne and Aunt Mary, are swept into a whirlwind of adventure when Vesper finds the traces of an unfinished and, so far, unproved theory her late father had about a national legend in the small country of Illyria. Vesper is determined to investigate and, with Brinnie, heads for Illyria and becomes involved in far more than a mysterious legend. With an unwilling king, a rebel leader, and the great need for peace before a war breaks out, Vesper has her hands full…
Being the first of the Vesper Holly series, I think it’s one of the best. It has well developed characters and plot, and Brinnie’s witty writing style contains enough humor to keep you laughing. I enjoyed this book very much.
