A heart-shaped face, sapphire blue eyes and golden curls – everyone’s favorite royal, Princess Georgina, is in Kent to open the new Dungeness power station – excitement in the nearby villages of Plummergen and Murreystone is generating almost as much energy as a nuclear reaction.

A lucky local child is to present Her Royal Highness with a bouquet, and as little Sally is one of Miss Emily Seeton’s class of infants, Miss S, with her best gold brolly, gets to make her curtsey to the princess. But it’s almost November 5th, Guy Fawkes night, and a band of modern-day conspirators are plotting treasonous doings. When the princess vanishes, Miss Seeton’s explosive adventures are only just beginning . . .

Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!
