Sweeping across countries, class, and music, Eva Ibboton's classic historical romance, Magic Flutes, is a richly imagined tale of intrigue and identity. In the spring of 1922, young Austrian Princess Theresa-Maria, known to her ancient aunts as 'Putzerl', abandons her crumbling castle and her royal duties. Disguising herself simply as Tessa, she enrolls as under wardrobe mistress of the International Opera Company and soon loses herself in the intoxicating world of the Viennese opera. But when Guy Farne, an Englishman looking to impress his new fiancée, arrives in Austria and employs the Company to perform at his newly purchased Austrian estate, he finds himself fascinated by the under wardrobe mistress, and Tessa finds it increasingly difficult to keep her two lives separate. Rediscover Eva Ibbotson's sweeping historical romances, including The Morning Gift, A Song For Summer, The Secret Countess (originally published as A Countess Below Stairs ), Madensky Square, and A Company of Swans. Magic Flutes was originally published as The Reluctant Heiress.

It is so natural, so logical, so inevitable as to pass unchallenged by the acutest Southern sensibility. In his allegiance to his art Mr. De Leon sacrifices no part of his loyalty to his blood and birth. The moral of his writing is entirely just and Sound.
