The Adventures of Maesee Peek
by Janet Hébert

---

With her wonderful bouffant of bright, purple hair, handmade Maesee Peek is no ordinary doll. She’s got a gold monocle that lets her see amazing things, a mystical timepiece that opens up history for her, and a padded bustle on the back of her Victorian dress that can act as a floatation device if she happens to need one. When Maesee is accidentally dropped down a hill after an afternoon tea party, she finds that she needs all the help she can get. Catapulted into a wild adventure that takes her back and forth in time, Maesee takes a breathless ride into science, history, and art! With mystical ingenuity and a sweet-natured, comic sensibility, The Adventures of Maesee Peek is that rare treat that entertains just as much as it educates.

Once she had grandchildren author Janet Hebert, a lifelong storyteller, decided it was time to open up her imaginary world at last. And when she was given the gift of a unique and beautiful handmade doll, she just knew that doll had a lot of fascinating stories in her. A nurse, an entrepreneur, and a world traveller, Janet plunged into researching historical events and visiting art galleries to create Maesee Peek’s magical adventures into science and history; stories only a few would know. She lives in Winnipeg with her husband.
