An Esperanto-English facing-page story

A girl from a remote island is lost in West Virginia. It's a detective story and a love story.

Esperanto, the internacia lingvo as its inventor called it, is remarkably easy to learn. This novel, in English and Esperanto on facing page, makes it even easier for you!

There is also a ten-page description of Esperanto, with an appreciation of its qualities. Though it was invented, it could have evolved as a natural language. And though it is as regular as a fully expressive language can be, it is flexible and allows variations in style.[

It was invented to promote peace and understanding between peoples. Hitler and Stalin feared and persecuted it.
