Jenny is a 13-year-old girl who has the same dream every night. Each time she starts in the same place, in the same house, and each time she learns a little more. With the help of her two best friends, an old lady rumoured to be a witch, and a young girl she meets in her dreams, she discovers it is more than just a dream. Jenny learns of a murder she must solve, a missing will she must find, and a gift which she must choose to undertake.

''The World of Biedermeier'' celebrates every one of its elements - the furniture, decorative ornamentation, paintings, porcelain, crystal, fabrics - as no other recent book on furniture and design. The hundreds of brilliant colour photographs by Lois Lammerhuber set a new standard for design and furniture photography. A chapter on current uses of Biedermeier illustrates its timeless quality, from full traditional settings to the way that Biedermeier furniture is elegantly integrated in contemporary spaces, and the illustrated reference section can prove a guide to anyone interested in this rich homage to Middle European culture.
