The year is 1931. An unsuspecting Danny Goodgame sits in his class at Hexeth, an exclusive boarding school in the English countryside. Little does he know, his world is about to be turned upside down.
Twenty-four hours later, he finds himself alone in London, sole proprietor of Marshal Brothers, his father's bookshop. Here, Danny must find a way to rise to the challenges of the big city, learn how to run a business, and deal with the shop's eccentric customers. Not to mention finding ways to get closer to the charming young Alice of Honey Books. And as if all this wasn't enough, he is soon roped into a scheme to steal back a book of great historical importance.
Set between the two world wars, The Duke's Book is part detective fiction and part coming-of-age story. It will appeal to readers who enjoy the light-hearted and quirky world of writers such as P.G. Wodehouse.
