Description: "The Lone Piners are spending their holidays at a lonely house near Rye. Owned by a kindly Major, Amorys is a house full of ghosts and even its overgrown spinney has an eerie atmosphere. Penny's dream from the past is so vivid and real that it both impresses and disturbs her…Added to this, is the hint of buried Roman treasure at Amorys, and who should be on the hunt for it but the sinister Miss Ballinger, her niece Valerie and the obnoxious Dogkicker."

Rear endpapers depict a wonderful hand-drawn (possibly by the author himself), b&w map of the Isle of Oxney.

Covers creased; extremities rubbed. Minor stain on rear. Pages have the usual tanning commensurate with a 40 year old paperback, but are otherwise unmarked, free from foxing, and in very good condition. Super-tight binding.
