The year is 1901. England's beloved queen has died, and her aging son has finally taken the throne. In the eastern city of Norwich, bright and inquisitive young Edith Holler spends her days among the boisterous denizens of the Holler Theatre, warned by her domineering father that the playhouse will literally tumble down if she should ever leave its confines. Fascinated by tales of the city she knows only from afar, she decides to write a play of her own: a stage adaptation of the legend of Mawther Meg, a vicious figure said to have used the blood of countless children to make the local delicacy known as Beetle Spread. But when her father suddenly announces his engagement to a peculiar, imposing woman named Margaret Unthank, heir to the actual Beetle Spread fortune, Edith scrambles to protect her father, the theater, and her play-the one thing that's truly hers-from the newcomer's sinister designs. Teeming with unforgettable characters, and illuminated by the author's trademark fantastical illustrations, Edith Holler is a surprisingly modern fable of one young woman's struggle to escape her family's control- and to reveal inconvenient truths about the way children are used" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Young women $x Conduct of life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Theaters $z England $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Edward VII, 1901-1910 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Gothic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20240413101953.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B28FC0AF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
