Jane can be found sinking through the pages of a book to meet all sorts of weird characters such as witches, toads, ghosts, and even fantastic; or braving a whole string of crises and narrow escapes in improbable locations such as the Swiss Alps, the Scottish Islands, an African Jungle, and the mysterious Mountains of the Moon.Now, for the first time, encounter Jane s escapades in a single-volume collection of immensely readable and contemporary adventure-stories recalling the beloved children s tales of the past.
