Publisher's Summary

The sequel to The Winter of Enchantment and the return of Mantari the magic cat.

Sebastian and Melissa would never forget their arrival at the house called Hadlows. The long drive through the neglected park and woodland, the lake glimpsed through trees, the house, with its "thousand windows" looking down on them and the great hall, empty but for the portraits covering the walls. Hadlows held a secret, of that they were sure.

Sequel to The Winter of Enchantment

The House Called Hadlows is the slightly less successful sequel to one of my favourite books. I say slightly less because it has a few inconsistencies that could have been so easily fixed by a good editor, or by the author herself. I have no idea why this wasn't done. They're not too terrible, I suppose- Selina/Melissa's mother's name has changed, and events that happened a year ago are spoken of as if they'd happened long ago. I kept thinking... but that was only last year! (Well, according to the children's ages it was.) Still, it is an enjoyable fantasy with a ghost story running through it. Beautifully narrated, as was its prequel. Oh, and one seeming inconsistency turns out not to be at all, or not entirely. I do think the aunt and uncle (trying to avoid spoilers) could perfectly well have been in their seventies though rather than the suggested almost one hundred.
