Gracys Walk is a story of intrigue and longing, of witchcraft and the supernatural, of treasure stolen, hidden and finally lost, but above all of love, beauty and despair.This work of historical fiction, originally published in 1929, is based in and around the Essex village of Little Baddow. It is a tale woven around known historical characters and particularly Lady Alice Mildmay, who died in 1615.
