Pamela and the Revolution

Nominated for the Golden Kite Award for 1993, this book is highly recommended by teachers & parents for delightful reading while learning history 'firsthand.' Beautifully illustrated with 15 line drawings, this is how The Book Reader, Fall Issue described PAMELA & THE REVOLUTION. 'A time warp that uses some familiar historical figures to construct an engaging novel. A contemporary California teenager, Pamela visits Paris where she had lived as a youngster, excited at the memories of her family's long French ancestry. Her heritage would play a part more intimate than she could ever imagine, for upon leaving the ladies' room in her hotel, she hears strange voices. "The Americans will not be the only ones who will win their War of Independence! France will be next." It's not a movie set. Lafayette & Thomas Paine had not just come from wardrobe. Indeed, Pamela has been swooped back two centuries to the age of Marie Antoinette! She meets a mystic named Cazotte who relishes the chance acquaintance of a fellow-seer, & the chance to perhaps re-write history, & spare some of the bloodshed recounted in the Reign of Terror. He gives her a golden ring: "In my plan you will wear this ring. It will enable you to remember who you are." Pamela would become Marie Antoinette & move throughout the courts of her new time, adorned with new identity, & power & grace. She meets & puzzles Lafayette with her knowledge of future events, & she gets caught up in the gossip involving Madame DuBarry. And just when her hopes with Louis XVI seem the brightest, she twists her golden ring a special way, & returns to present time. A spell binding, delightful tale which enlivens history & does justice to the memory of Marie Antoinette.' PAMELA & THE REVOLUTION is destined to become a classic in children's literature. Be one of the first to get this charming way to learn about history while experiencing adventure. Marc Anthony Publications, P.O.
