![]() ![]() It's an ambiguous tale, on several levels. When Lizzie is horrifically killed by her husband, who has come to believe that she's a changeling, a fairy, Albie sets off for the Yorkshire village of Halfoak, to investigate. A connection is made between the two that endures, albeit sleeping, until after her death a decade later. Early in the book we see the two visit the Great Exhibition of 1851 along with Albie's cousin, Lizzie, and her father. ![]() ![]() The Hidden People - while set at the height of Summer, indeed, in a place where it is always Summer - doesn't disappoint although it's a departure for Littlewood, being set in the past, the mid Victorian age.Īlbie Mirralls is the son of a prosperous family, working at his father's firm in the City. ![]() I've come to look forward to a new ghost or horror story from Alison Littlewood as an Autumn treat, timed to come alongside the smell of bonfires, falling leaves and of course the darkening evenings. I'm grateful to the publisher for an advance copy of this book ![]()
