More about the book
The year is 1832 and the story is set at a time in English history that never happened, when Good King James III was on the throne and the frozen North Country was full of wolves. A little girl called Bonnie was waiting at dusk for her orphan cousin Sylvia to come from London to keep her company. And for her new governess to arrive. And, as Bonnie and her orphan cousin soon discover, it is this sinister new occupant of Willoughby Chase that is the real danger, not the savage, roaming beasts outside. A wild and evocative fantasy.
