Three curious and plucky children looking for adventure find a challenge to explore the underground cellars of a row of terraced houses. Fantasy and mischief turn into an experience of fear and terror as the three find themselves confronting the horrors of the past, through their efforts to release the ghost children who are alone and captured for eternity by the evil power of the 'man in black'! The trio are drawn into the horrors of past centuries, one awesome experience after another, by their belief that they can, somehow, alter the course of history in a minor way, but a major help for the trapped and tortured spirits. However, they are accompanied throughout their travels back in time by the wrath of Jess...Jess the evil spirit, the sister of 'the man in black'....but also the handmaiden of the Devil. Nevertheless, goodness prevails and the trio triumph, but, they emerge bereft of innocence and with a new taste for meddling in the past, albeit for the best of motives.
Myths, legends and witchcraft, are alive and well in Wales; this is why my story identifies with this heritage. This story is entrenched in the legends and myths and physical evidence of the folklore of North Wales. The mystery of the wells, the significance of symbols to be found engraved on buildings, the Pilgrim route and the ever present inexplicable. It is a novella which is designed to continue into book 2 and possibly book 3. It is in fact a journey of a modern day murder and mystery influenced by the historical heritage of the area. To this day most of the buildings, villages, and scenery upon which it is based are still there on the landscape and accessible to the visitor.
With a great deal of humour and honesty Polly Gillespie walks the reader through some of the ups and downs of life, with advice, warnings, and stories simply involving the awkwardness of being Polly. (She says that at the very least these will make you feel normal.)
