More about the book

A True Account of the Curious Mystery of Miss Lydia Larkin and the Widow Marvell is a delightful tale of magic lingering in the modern world. Elderly Miss Larkin is thrilled to finally buy an ordinary house in London's suburbs despite the neighbours fairy lights and dubious reputation of the area. She settles in nicely along with her oversized black cat quickly befriending the Widow Marvell. Yet Miss Larkin hides a secret that she is careful to protect until Joey, one of the children who roams the street, is threatened first by an abusive step father and then by his mother's fanatical worship of the strange Ray Lokey.
