Disdaining corsets and preferring trousers to skirts, Felicity Derringer has a progressive mindset for the 1800s. She is also the protector of an alchemist who lived in the 1600s. Or at least, that’s when his body was alive. Cornelis Drebbel, that alchemist, is a genius (if an imperfect one) with an acerbic wit and in-your-face rebelliousness. Yet he manages to make himself endearing. How can one fail to like this creator of harmonic tuners and the original thingamajig?
The alchemist and the woman in trousers are set upon from every side as they try to rescue young Copper. Their escapade carries them on alchemically enhanced contraptions like a high-speed road locomotive, as well as Cornelis Drebbel’s grandest invention. They are aided by a small green skunk-looking creature as they go to bizarre places to evade their foes and search for Copper’s missing daddy. Alchemy might be a solution, but there’s just one drawback — alchemy often goes awry.

The Alchemist and the Woman in Trousers is a fast-paced mashup of steampunk, fantasy, and absurdism. It’s also wild fun for all ages.
The non roboticness of the voice. it had variation.
