The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris by Leon Garfield (Harris & Bostock #1)
Requirements: epub Reader, 649kb
Overview: Harris and Bostock are two schoolboy best friends. Harris is all brains and Bostock all brawn and after hearing about the Spartan tradition of leaving babies on hills to die, they link it to the Romulus and Remus myth and decide to try it on Harris’ baby sister.
The stranded baby is found by the headteacher’s dashing son Ralph, and the arithmetic master’s daughter Tizzy, who takes it back to the school where the arithmetic master challenges Ralph to a duel. The baby is taken to the poorhouse.
The trouble finding the baby involves the creepy pseudo-private investigator Selwyn Raven, who meddles and complicates things by drawing up his own (false) idea of the baby’s disappearance.
As characters try and wriggle in and out of the duel, Bostock and Harris try and get Adelaide back from the poorhouse.
