Wales 1880.
Wales has reached the apex of her industrial clamour. But young Tom Mortymer, son of rich industrialist Iestyn Mortymer, has turned his back on his inheritance, exchanging the bell-clang and fire of his Upper Forest Tinplate Works in Morriston for the simplicity and wanderlust of a gypsy existence with his young Romany wife, Jen Wildflower.
In time they come to settle on Flatholm Island where they become a refuge for animals. Self-sufficiency is their key note; the substantial income from tinplate is ignored.
But their simple idyll doesn't last. They are aware of a strange malevolence towards them. One frightening incident follows another with relentless horror, until it is clear to Tom and Jen that they will have to abandon their home and return to Cefn-Ydfa, their mansion in Maesteg. Their decision coincides with the arrival in Cardiff of Jethro Mortymer, Tom's uncle - whom he had long believed dead. Would Jethro be able to shed any light on Tom and Jen's continuing nightmare?
Soft cover, good condition. The paper is browning a little.
