In this rollicking tale, the cantankerous but lovable General Dourakine brings his new-found French friends, Jacques and Paul, back to his grand estate in snowy Russia. Life becomes complicated when the General's niece, the grasping Madame Papofsky, and her eight unruly children descend on the house. Madame Papofsky is desperate to get her hands on her uncle's enormous fortune. Find out if the General - with some help from his friends - can extract himself from her greedy clutches in this sequel to A Room at Guardian Angel Inn.

About Stephanie Smee

Stephanie Smee is a translator into English of all things literary and French. Having worked as a lawyer in Sydney and London, Stephanie happily traded in a legal career for a return to her linguistic calling. After several years as a legal translator, she left the world of financing documents behind and made her literary translation debut with a new English translation of the Countess de Segur's Fleurville Trilogy published in 2010 by Simon & Schuster (Australia). The Trilogy includes the perenially popular Sophie's Misfortunes, first published in France in 1858 and in print ever since. Her new translation of another of the Countess' favourites, Monsieur Cadichon: Memoirs of a Donkey was published at the end of 2011.
