Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Combining mystery with alternative history, Bastable, who is really veteran mystery author Robert Barnard, offers us a Wolfgang Mozart who has lived to old age. Still unrecognized, still in debt, a widower after a long and happy marriage, the former child prodigy and performer for kings finds himself giving music lessons to Princess Victoria, heir apparent to the throne of England. But having more on her mind than music, the princess asks her piano teacher to uncover the truth about the ambiguous relationship between her mother and Sir John Conroy. The mature Mozart-a bit cagey, puckish, and fond of his young student-acts as a liaison between the princess's mother and the disarmingly informal newly crowned King William IV, who lives with Queen Adelaide surrounded by his brood of illegitimate children. The King, Victoria's uncle, invites her, the heir apparent, to the Windsor court. Shortly after her arrival, a court visitor is fatally poisoned after sipping from a cup intended for Victoria, and the king calls upon Mozart to make the kind of discreet inquiries at which he has proven so competent. Bastable imagines his characters and their setting so fully and seamlessly and offers such appealing possibilities that readers will wish this slight piece offered Mozart and Victoria more range." -- Publishers Weekly.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. Etat de la jaquette : Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj illus) David Frankland (illustrateur). First Edition. [good sound copy with no significant wear, moderate age-toning to edges of text block, former owner's initials plus date & place of purchase written in ink along edge of rear pastedown (concealed beneath rear jacket flap); the jacket is nearly flawless, with only some tiny bits of surface wear that you'll need a magnifying glass to see]. Comic novel set in 1830, the conceit being that an elderly Wolfgang Gottlieb ("he prefers the German form of his name") Mozart has remained in England after visiting as a child prodigy in 1764, "cursing the luck that made him a despised hack in a foreign country, instead of being cherished and honoured in his native Austria." Now in his 70s, but "still remarkably spry for his age," he appears to finally be catching a piece of luck: he's engaged as young Princess (future Queen) Victoria's piano teacher. Alas, "things go from bad to dangerous when she becomes Heir Apparent to the throne, and seems destined to be the victim of a tug-of-war between the new King, William IV, and her unwise mother, the Duchess of Kent.".
