Ben Tripp, the Accidental Highwayman / Ben Tripp / 303 pages

This is the first book in a trilogy detailing the adventures, escapades, and mishaps of young Kit Bristol and Morgana, a rebellious fairy princess who is half human and determined to escape an arranged marriage with King George III of England.  When his master is shot as a highwayman, Whistling Jack, Kit dons his apparel in an attempt to deflect suspicion from him.  Unfortunately, suspicion falls on Kit himself, and he is, in fact, accused of murdering his master.  Kit attempts to make sense of a death note penned by his master, follow advice from an old witch - Magda, rescue a maiden in distress, and do the right thing.  This action-packed fairy tale-like adventure is graced with beautiful illustrations and portrays true love as a rocky road only to be trod by selfish, right-minded individuals.
