Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes an “engaging story of a friendship that transcends time” (Library Journal) … Arriving in the magnificent countryside of Dorset, England, to live with her mother and new stepfather, the young and very American Jenny Gluckstein has little interest in her historic surroundings, including that of the 700-acre Stourhead Farm her stepfather is restoring. Then she meets Tamsin, a kindred spirit that has haunted the lonely estate for 300 years, trapped by a hidden trauma she can’t remember, and by a powerful evil even the spirits of night cannot name. To help her, Jenny must delve deeper into the dark world than any human has in centuries, and face a danger that will change her life forever. “Fantasy rarely dances through the imagination in more radiant garb than this.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I first knew Beagle as the writer of an excellent little introduction to The Lord of the Rings called 'Tolkien's Magic Ring.'

Goodreads review by Nancy on January 13, 2009

Sometimes I forget about Peter Beagle, because I don't actually read that much fantasy. He wrote, of course, the fantasy classic "The Last Unicorn," which is a completely lovely book. But Tamsin is genius. It's written from the point of view of a 13 year old girl from New York, Jenny, who has to mov......more

4,5 Idealna książka o duchach, która nie jest straszna :) Bardzo ładnie napisana i bardzo ciepła, pomimo mroczniejszych wątków. Całość czyta się powoli, bo i akcja tak się toczy, niektórych może to znudzić, mi się podobało, tym bardziej, że jak wyżej pisałam, Beagle naprawdę świetnie pisze. Sporo tutaj......more
