Product Information

But when Bess's older brother Will comes, it becomes hard to do that, and one day he finds his fishing rod tangled and messy in the state Walter left it after fishing. Bess knows he has because her gran found some fish in the kitchen in the morning, and Bess gets blamed, which she finds very annoying.

Look out for Michael's other ghostly stories The Ghost of Grania O'Malley and The White Horse of Zennor. They go fishing, Bess lets Walter ride on one of the family tractors (which he does love, he declares that tractors are majesties compared to cars or something), and they have all sorts of fun together!

The family are given a large sum of money as a reward for finding them, and with that money, they buy another farm. Walter was right you see. Everything did turn out all right!

Then Bess meets a man, who introduces himself as Walter Raleigh! She;s an ancestor of him, a descendent, and Bess then decides to bring him home with her.
