Merlin' Compass

Not the usual science fiction. Exploiting history and legends before WWII,a prank, loving teen goes to Germany at a when neighbors struggled withthe English language and talked with foreign accents, but were proud to beAmerican citizens. Charles Lindbergh had crossed the Atlantic Ocean onlya few years earlier and an airplane would still be watched until it flew outof sight. Telephones and radios were around, but these were the depressionyears, so most everyone did without those extravagances. Times were toughbut, the people were tougher.
