Back cover:
- Andy's not your average resident of exclusive Foxmeadow -- whenever he sits down to draw something, it turns out to be a dragon. And he wants to be a [cool] detective when he grow up -- not just an ordinary, everyday police detective, but a tough, cool, famous detective like theones he reads about in mystery novels.
- Everyone knows a famous detective needs a sidekick, but Mrs. Edie Yakots, a lonely new bride who's just moved into Foxmeadow, isn't exactly what Andy had in mind -- he sometimes has a hard time just figuring out what's she's talking about. But she's the only volunteer for the job, and before he knows it, she's led him right into the middle of his first real crime -- in an inner-city [Gainesboro] neighborhood a short drive, and light years away, from Foxmeadown [another ghetto].

Inside front cover:
- Eleanor of Acquitaine is in Heaven, waiting to learn whether or not her second husband, King Henry II of England, will be able to join her. Henry had died even before Eleanor, but he still has not won admission to Heaven. Waiting with Eleanor are Henry's mother, Matilda-Empress, and William the Marshal. A chance encournter with Abbot Suger, an old friend of Eleanor's from the time of her first marriage, starts the four of them remembering times past. Each person in turn tells a part of Eleanor's life, vividly illustrating the excitement of living in twelfth-century England and France, and expecially the excitement of being Eleanor. Wife of two Kings, mother of two others, Richard the Lion Heart and John, she set the tone of court life for her times, sponsored poets and musicians, established the legend of King Arthur as a romantic feature of English literature, set the Rules of Courtly Love, and helped rule a kingdom that spanned from Scotland to the Pyrenees. ANd she did all this in a time when a king could keep his queen a prisoner--and did!
- This book is a novel, fiction, fantasy even. But everything in it about Eleanor and her family and her times is true.
There are four "Tales" between five interludes "(Back) in Heaven"
