    The huge white mansion, standing in an overgrown garden, was the strangest place Robin had ever visited.Wherever she explored - from the dizzyingly mirrored ballroom to the curious treetop attic - the house confronted her with tantalising puzzles.Who were the young people whose voices Robin could hear, coming from a locked room?And what possible explanation could there be for the astonishing photograph she saw in the library?Or for the letter that had been written and forgotten, and written again, countless times?The beginning of the answer to Robin's questions was concealed in an ornate moonlit fountain at the bottom of the garden.In the fountain lay a rusted key - the key to a mystery so profound that it will dazzle the mind.Author, playwright and screenwriter John Pinkney wrote this beautiful novel for young people. But its accomplished style and its insights into the nature of human reality hsve won it an audience of all ages.
