'When the wind was in the west door it was not only the weather that was unsettled - always there was some trouble or sadness in the Old Vicarage, in tune with the rattling and creaking of the ill-fitting door. Michael John, the widowed tenant, was well-known in the Lincolnshire villages of Ernton and Great Spa, for not only was he engaged in church work for the two parishes, but he worked in various gardens in the district as well. But he was a lonely man, and the Vicarage became more and more neglected as he brooded on the happy days he had spent with his wife, Frances. ---Then Henrietta arrived. She was his cousin, patronising and overpowering. She 'hooked' him, and life became an agonising existence. By the cold, dark days of one December, Winter and Henrietta had seared his soul. Hurricane winds flung the door open, the glass panels of the inner door crashed and the storm rushed through the house. Suddenly all was calm - but the tragedy had been played out in the cellars - in the disused well Henrietta had insisted on inspecting. ---This book portrays a way of life that is fast disappearing in the English countryside, and conveys the build-up of tension when an innocent man is caught up in evil.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***A true first edition of this interesting historical book, set in the two Lincolnshire vilages of Ernton and Great Spa. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
