With 54 original illustrations, and told entirely in verse, The Mystery of Raddlesham Mumps centres on young Crispin, the recently orphaned master of the Raddlesham Mumps. With only the company of the ancient butler Kenilworth, Crispin hears the tale of the lords of Raddlesham Mumps and their untimely demises. But Crispin doesn’t realise that the malevolent force that has been the bane of his family for generations has turned its gaze towards him…
Ghosts, Faeries and Witches are brought to life by the atmospheric artwork of Julie Verhoeven. Young and Verhoeven’s gothic collaboration outlines the frightening perils of inheritance.
