The Draughtsman Damsel. When Annabelle’s father, the closest counsellor and architect to the Duke at Calais, is called back to the English court, his ten-year-old daughter Annabelle is torn from her home and from her best friend, the Duke’s youngest son, Thomas, whom she swears she will one day wed.
Though forlorn and homesick, Annabelle grows up to be a sensitive, precocious damsel. She loves mathematics and drawing, but her aversion to the ‘female arts’ causes her to use her girlish trickery to avoid them. This risks her eligibility as a bride, and compromises others.
When her family’s connection to the Duke diminishes, and the Duke’s mental health falters, her parents are at their wits end about procuring a love match for her. Especially as all their efforts amount to naught, because of Annabelle’s anxiety.
They are then torn with conflicting loyalties between the king, and the desperate, mad duke who now calls them back. Perhaps here lies the solution for their wayward daughter?

I have been looking at Tesalate towels for so long now as a love their abundance of deisgns. I have eventually opted for the Ride The Rainbow towel as Lucas loves rainbows too. It is so beautiful and the colours are so vibrant. On the reverse, it has Tesalate’s signature black & white triangle pattern. A revolutionary new type of beach towel that’s lightweight but large, super absorbent but quick drying, and totally sand-free. AbsorbLite’s engineering allows for sand to slip off easily. So you leave the beach at the beach. It is ultra absorbant retaining up to a litre of water. Engineered to dry in half the time than a regular towel. No more post-dip soggy towels! The towels are lightweight & roll into a compact size to fit into your tote. If you want to buy one, use the code LUCAS15 for 15% discount! Tesalate have very kindly offered to giveaway one of their towels to one lucky reader in a design of their choice. To enter, use the app below x
