DUSTJACKET BLURB: "She is real; more real than half the
people you meet in the street . . ." Just one of the enthusiastic
responses to Kaeti when she made her first appearance in book form in 1986.
Kaeti & Company was to go on to win many more plaudits and awards.
Now Kaeti branches out, moves farther from her beloved London. In the process
she makes a whole range of new, intriguing friends; and lands herself in some
scrapes startling even by her standards. The shadows she sprays on the
pavements of a Thames Valley town come alive to haunt her; later, the magic
Tiger Sweater she acquires does more than haunt the subjects of her wrath.
While for a time her latest experience of France also looks like being her
last. In a Thames-side hotel she conjures Hell on request; on a deserted
airfield, and in the Green Place, Glasgow, Hell returns to haunt her. In the
West Country, she meets an eighteenth century benefactress; or is she?
Certainly the experience lands Kaeti in hospital; for a while it seems she's
about to cross the Bridge of Dreams herself. Finally she circles back to
London; but a London neither you nor she has ever seen.. . But it's all in the
day's work for Kaeti, the Bow Bells actress who is in touch with things magic
and eternal.
