  <default_description>Newly orphaned Peggy Grahame is caught off-guard when she first arrives at her family's ancestral estate.  Her eccentric uncle Enos drives away her only new acquaintance, Pat, a handsome British scholar, then leaves Peggy to fend for herself.  But she is not alone.  The house is full of mysteries -- and ghosts.  Soon Peggy becomes involved with the spirits of her own Colonial ancestors and witnesses the unfolding of a centuries-old romance against a backdrop of spies and intrigue and of battles plotted and foiled.  History has never been so exciting, especially because the ghosts are leading Peggy to a romance of her own!

    <body><![CDATA[Whoever it was who highly recommended this book on Amazon's Listmania, THANK YOU! I loved this book and immediately went out and specially ordered my own copy after I'd finished the library's, because I knew I'd be reading it again and again. This book would probably be billed as a YA fantasy becaus...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26095517">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A comfort re-read; this series of interconnected stories stuffs the American Revolution full of codes, spies, deeds of derring-do, and various romantic gestures.  As well as being stylishly funny, it's probably the only book I know set in that time period where you end up rooting for the British guy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75194748">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The Sherwood Ring is an absolutely, brilliantly wonderful book, and I've loved it to pieces ever since my mum gave me her copy to read when I was 14. It's lighthearted, clever and romantic, and one of those books that will find you reading it with a great big silly grin plastered on your face.<br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I first read this <em>years</em> after <em>The Perilous Gard</em>, and actually don't like it as much. All the flashbacks make it not hold together as well. However, there are some parts I absolutely love, and anyone else who's read it is probably thinking of the same scene I am here.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read it for school.<br/>This book was ok, definitely not the best I've read.<br/>It's about a girl who's parents die and she goes to live with her eccentric uncle in this old mansion.  She has all these encounters with &quot;ghosts&quot;... and so on.  Not horrible, but not a MUST read!]]></body>
