Fleur Marvell and the Ingenious Inventions


the third and final volume of the 

Threepenny Tales 
series:

Threepenny Tales
Fleur Marvell and the Ingenious Inventions

The
Inventive Adventures
of a 
Girl in a Revolution

The third in the 
THREEPENNY TALES  series,  
Fleur Marvell and the Ingenious Inventions  
links to its predecessors The Adventures of Barnaby Twickins and Lily of Lonestorm through some characters, references and settings.
This Threepenny Tale is inspired by the 18th century fascination with science and experiments and by the French Revolution. 



Yet Ambrose's inventions are generally more fantastical and improbable and Fleur's Revolution is absurdity itself...
