Dream A Little Dream
Raised in a castle that her eccentrically romantic grandfather had transported from England to the Hudson River Valley, children's book illustrator Elinor MacLeish is stunned when William Braddock, Lord Norwood, the heir of Fair Castle's original owner, appears on the family doorstep, determined to return the castle to England?and willing to make an offer her grandparents can't refuse. Well-developed, likable protagonists; appealing relatives; an intriguing villain; and a ghostly pair of ancient lovers propel the plot of this occasionally confusing but well-written story with a definite Gothic touch. Stockenberg (Beyond Midnight, St. Martin, 1996) has written a number romances with a paranormal twist, including her Rita-winning Emily's Ghost (Dell, 1992). She lives in Massachusetts.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
