Sweeping across countries, class and music, Eva Ibboton's classic
historical romance, Magic Flutes, is a richly imagined tale of
intrigue and identity, with a new introduction from Harriet Evans.
In the spring of 1922, young Austrian Princess Theresa-Maria -
known to her ancient aunts as 'Putzerl' - abandons her crumbling
castle and her royal duties. Disguising herself simply as Tessa,
she enrolls as under wardrobe mistress of the International Opera
Company and soon loses herself in the intoxicating world of the
Viennese opera. But when Guy Farne, an Englishman looking to
impress his new fiance, arrives in Austria and employs the Company
to perform at his newly purchased Austrian estate, he finds himself
fascinated by the under wardrobe mistress, and Tessa finds it
increasingly difficult to keep her two lives separate . . . 'I have
binged on Eva Ibbotson . . . her elegantly written, witty and
well-observed fables' Nigella Lawson, The Times Rediscover Eva
Ibbotson, award-winning author of Journey to the River Sea, in her
sweeping historical romances, including The Morning Gift, A Song
For Summer, The Secret Countess (originally published as A Countess
Below Stairs), Madensky Square and A Company of Swans. Magic Flutes
was originally published as The Reluctant Heiress.
