The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris

Leon Garfield (1921-96) is considered one of the most innovative writers of historical fiction, and his work has entertained generations of readers. “Reissuing Leon Garfield’s novels is a great gift.” (Suzanne Fisher Staples) “Leon Garfield is unmatched for sheer, exciting storytelling.” (Lloyd Alexander) “A mad eighteenth-century farce is set in motion . . . A wildly funny and clever work by a master off confusion.” (The Horn Book)
