The charmingly batty old maid is off to the coronation to save the king in this “hugely entertaining” novel from the #1New York Times–bestselling author (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).A naive observer might not immediately see a connection between thenewspaper accounts of a man found naked on a church steeple, a constableattacked from the sky, and a grocer assaulted by “balloon bandits.” Butthese stories are tied together by a single word: Tish, the nutty maidwho has never let old age get in the way of a good time.When hernephew announces a trip to England to write about the Coronation, Tishdemands to come along. Fearing a diplomatic incident, her nephewrefuses, but Tish resolves to find another way. It’s not long before shetakes to the air—and the sky will never be the same.In thesestories, Tish and her friends advise young lovers on bad haircuts,contend with fish in Florida and bears in the far west, and narrowlyavoid confrontation with the waxworks at Madame Tussaud’s. With herunwavering, destructive enthusiasm, this sprightly old spinster givesnew meaning to the phrase “young at heart.”
