La femme de ménage voit tout

Description

The script to the 8-episode mini-series, ANNA, makes its debut as a novelized e-book.

A challenging fable for clever kids, a cathartic satire for les adultes à la mode, Anna's adventure combines historical fiction, tabloid scandal, romantic comedy, fantasy and farce in a fresh yet timeless classic.

A volatile mixture of Don Quixote's whimsical quest, the twisted underworld Alice found in Wonderland, the royal soap opera starring Princess Diana, Charles and Camilla, and the subconscious dynamic of counterpart twins inhabiting a dreamland such as Dorothy encountered in Oz combusts with capricious novelty.

Set in London in the near present, Anna, the young, stunning, sassy, intrepid, most persecuted, most beloved, most phenomenal princess ever, is grabbed by the Celtic Knights, Saint Elvis and Sean d' Arc, and thrown into the ancient freight elevator beneath Fortnum & Mason which takes her down, down, down to the subconscious realm of Level Two.

Stuck in the bizarre, parallel underworld of Surreality, she is tasked by Elvis's twin to steal the enchanted Berzerkers from the Royals and Brights, find the Lost Treasures of the Stuarts hidden long ago by her Stuart ancestors, and recover the Black Box of King Charles the Second containing the 17th c. marriage contract which proves she is the rightful Stuart Queen to be restored.

A coerced and reluctant heroine, Anna is lured by her childhood infatuation with the elusive and petulant Sean d' Arc and joins the Celtic Knights on their quest, all the while struggling to recall her childhood lessons and decipher the clues to the treasures concealed in nine Old Master portraits as they journey from manor house to pub to palace up the winding Thames. Betrayed, bullied, battered and bruised by her jealous and ambitious nemesis, Hilda, Anna perseveres with a vengeance. But does she succeed? Gifted and great as she is, can she deprive the Royals and Brights of their empowered talismans, achieve her undesired destiny as the Charmed One and capture true love?
