The Wordsmith [EPUB ebook] 

Planned as the first in a series of stories about a young girl’s fantasy travels to various European capitals, this is a humorous and adventurous trip to London in the company of Ben — a boy who lives in a rather famous clock. After Jenny arrives at the Best Bedroom of All where the magical suitcase hides, she steps inside and begins a fantastical journey. She arrives inside the clockwork of Big Ben and meets her guide, a Cockney-slanging boy named Ben who guides her through English history. Together they discover Guy Fawkes as he struggles to light his dynamite, meet a headless King Charles I, soothe a migrainey Good Queen Bess, help Sir Walter Raleigh with his poetry, and much much more.
