Goody Hall By Natalie Babbit (Hardcover/Library Binding 1971)

By: Natalie Babbit

The local blacksmith can sense that something is going to happen soon. But Hercules Feltwright, sometime actor and would be tutor to Willet Goody, foresees nothing but a pleasant interlude as he strolls up the road to Goody Hall. The house is magnificent - a frosted sugar cake - but is inhabitants are strangely troubled. What follows is a kind of Gothic mystery story. The course of this puzzling adventure is market by a gypsy séance, the discovery of a fortune in jewels, and a tremulous decent into the tomb of Willet's father, and the people Hercules Feltwright meets while stumbling over clues are as bizarre as the family history he unravels. When legend and disguises are penetrated at last, the puzzle's solution is wholly unexpected and, more than that, altogether satisfying.
