High Jinks in High C

In the tale of Cinderella the heroine only has two ugly sisters and an ugly stepmother to contend with: whereas in High Jinks in High C, young Dot Brownstone, the heroine (later to metamorphose into the highly ambitious Narcissa Defarge), finds herself having to deal with not only a pair of wearisome, adoptive parents and a zealous, over-possessive childhood friend but more - much more. Enter the dashing young Baron Pieter Listig Maritz (himself a metamorphosis extraordinaire) and Narcissa soon finds herself caught up in a world of wicked uncles, aunts, questionable acquaintances, double-crossing lovers and unparalleled intrigue.Throw in a talented, songstress daughter, a fairy tale castle, a tropical island, a vengeful murder or two and let the high jinks in a very discordant High C begin.
