Description

After rescuing Tomos from faery enchantment, orphan Seren Rhys wants nothing more than to enjoy her new life at Plas-y-Fran. But then a mysterious new governess arrives in a gust of leaves, bearing both a magical toy carousel and troublesome beliefs about Seren's right to an education. As her new family falls under the governess's spell and the carousel figures stalk the house, Seren calls upon her old friend the Clockwork Crow for help. Yet even the Crow fears the creature known as the Velvet Fox, and Seren will need to use her smarts to overcome the dangers around her and protect what she loves. Brimming with Welsh folklore and atmosphere, Catherine Fisher's latest tale of Plas-y-Fran will delight readers and wrap them within its spell.
