The diamond of Drury Lane

Set in 1790's Covent Garden this book is the tale of Cat Royal, an orphan who lives at the back of the real-life theatre in Drury Lane. It contains a wonderful colourful cast of characters - awkward actors, on stage, and off, barrow boys in the grimy marketplace, street gangs fighting for territory and it's packed with local colour and authentic detail. And of course there is the diamond mystery.
