Books with author Mary Newhall Anderson

Fifteen-year-old Elsbeth Ward has just been sent by her father, the Duke of Wexington, to live in a remote castle with only two servants in tow. Why? She is not certain. But what she is certain about are the terrifying tales that surround her new home. Are they merely tales, or does something lurk in the woods outside of Blackford Castle? Perhaps the handsome Count Declan will shed light on the situation… or is there someone else that will illuminate the impending darkness? Follow Elsbeth on her journey from princess to stable urchin, as she discovers the truth behind the mysterious residents of the isolated town of Bhearaugh.

Left under the guardianship of her great-aunt while her parents are away, Anah McKenzie’s summer holidays stretch out in front of her in the usual quiet, safe and boring way…until she comes face to face with a tiny being from a world under the woods behind her house. From that point on nothing is boring - not the little people, not their quest, not having to come up with a rescue plan nor staying out of the reach of a ruthless business man and his violent henchmen. Anah is led into a series of adventures that test her courage and resourcefulness. Will she succeed or will events prove to be beyond her power?
