Ichabod Temperance is an absolutely lovable character with lots to tell. He's a happy chap, interesting and fun, enthusiastic to a fault and very much into enjoying life. Both books, A Matter of Temperance and A World of InTemperance are interesting and fun, full of facts and forms. You can see the whole world develop in your mind as he sees it through his eyes. Persephone Plumtartt is a sweet, strong yet delicate creature with whom Ichabod falls in love.The adventures they both live together are thrilling, yet for moments scary, but always told with a slight sense of humor that makes these books easy to read and the story relaxing to follow.The language in these books is educated, yet not complex. It holds a clear voice with well defined narratives that carry the reader into each scene as if watching it unfold in front of their eyes.The author has accomplished books with most pleasant characteristics, characters that are charming and easy to warm up to, funny and intellectual, prodigious in their minds and delicate in their manners.I have enjoyed these books thoroughly, the descriptions have taken me to times and places I have enjoyed visiting as a companion to our characters' adventures.
