Horton Halfpott, or, The fiendish mystery of Smugwick Manor, or The loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's corset
This is a light-hearted, farcical mystery novel filled with eccentric, exaggerated characters. It is likely is best suited to capable readers. Set in Victorian England, the story contains humour, language and references specific to Victorian manor homes, as well as to the class system, that may make it difficult for some students to follow.
