I love this book! The setting is a gothic castle- complete with secret/hidden doors, hidden rooms, mysterious music, and a VERY creepy secret.

The story of "Sir Gibbie's" best friend, Donal Grant. Donal intends to be a teacher; takes a tutoring position and falls in love with Lady Actura. Mystery, suspense,m adventure and a gentle love story.

A companion novel to "The Baronet's Song" featuring Sir Gibbie.

A wonderful story but a better sermon of how life and death should be met.
