After opening with some backstory about a witch from the 1500s, this 1962-set novel centers on Cora and Mimi--last of the Guerdon line. Mimi is acting weird, two mysterious women are following them, and the family house is undeniably cursed. With its lush, moody English landscape and elaborate history, this companion to Long Lankin is equally ambitious and frightening.
