Summary

Even the soberest of locals won’t deny-something is out there at Bryony woods. But it is the diary that leads Michael into that which the evacuees had dabbled. Abbeyton Lacey’s occult past. Somewhere in Britain’s ancient and mystical landscape, there lies a village. A place that has witnessed ages come and go. Its stories are many. Most forgotten, some buried. And at least one is still hidden. In 1939 three children were evacuated to this country village in the south west of England. The idyllic yet antiquated village of Abbeyton Lacey. By the end of the following summer, pretty-faced Rosie Linden had disappeared. One foggy night she ran off and was never found again. In the summer of 1976 a schoolboy found a dilapidated diary hidden in an overgrown garden. But only now, many years later, the time has finally come for him to tell of what he had discovered. The tale of those three evacuees, consequentially of his own childhood and the dark side of a village called Abbeyton Lacey.
