Literary Realism

Living with a shameless mother, adulterer father and working at a dead end job, Ophelia has just about given up on life in The Big Smoke. That is, until she is transported to the magical world of Pecopia - a land where she is tasked with overthrowing an evil witch queen. However, unlike most who learn a valuable lesson of love and hope by the end of their journey - Ophelia's only thought is one of revenge.

Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.
