Arbois 2: A Spring's Trials and Tribulations

ARBOIS, A Spring's Trials and Tribulations, is the second in a series of novels centered around the quaint alpine township of St. Clusen, nestled in a winding tree-swathed valley below the majestic peaks of France's Mont Blanc massive. In the year of our Lord, I934, Father Joseph Pascal Arbois, the local priest, suffers many trials and tribulations perpetrated by rampant pernicious woodworms, ghosts, and time warps that allow historical characters to appear at the most inconvenient of times, thanks to Evadne Crillion, the local witch, who is but one of St. Clusen's unusual inhabitants. As if that weren't enough, Father Arbois is in constant peril of being swept up by one of the amazing, but slightly flawed inventions of the local aristocrat, Count Altermark du Claud Bonneville and dumped into the River Arve. Readers of all ages will enjoy these humorous interlinked stories.
