Overview

Part novelization and part genealogical fantasy, this short novel of semi-serious magical realism offers answers to the burning Ruddigorean questions: How was Sir Roderic able to woo Dame Hannah, and Ruthven later to fake his own death and re-invent his own life, under assumed names, right in their own home neighborhood? Who were the parents of Ruthven and Despard? Who was Rose Maybud, how did she come to be abandoned as an infant at the workhouse door, and why does she not go by her adoptive aunt’s surname? Why do we find the most recently deceased rather than the first Baronet in charge of the Picture Gallery? And what was everyday life like in a haunted castle where more family members were painted ghosts than mortal flesh? And the never-before-asked question: what connection was there between the cursed Murgatroyds and a certain gambling family in America’s Old West?
