About this ebook

Thirteen-year-old George is cynical about the existence of ghosts. Then he goes to spend half-term with his Gran and begins to revise his views. Can he believe the fantastic tales she tells him about Beckington Castle? Or was it only her imagination or a bad dream? A question he might well ask too, when he finds himself in Jacobean England, rubbing shoulders with King James I's favourite, George Villiers, and his family. History was never so much fun!

A mix of ghostly fantasy, time slip and immaculately researched history, this book is aimed at 13+ teens and is set in a mix of present day, the1970s and the period leading up to the death of James 1st in 1625. Historical notes, a bibliography and a note to KS3 teachers are included at the end.

Includes colour illustrations.
