About This Book

The narrative follows Billie Bradley, who inherits a dilapidated country homestead and, aided by her brother and friends, sets out to save and restore it. Their practical efforts are interrupted by a string of small‑town mysteries and adventures: unexplained noises and suspected burglars, ghostly rumors and odd shadows, peculiar old furniture and hidden hoards, a wrecked aeroplane, and the eventual discovery of coins and postage stamps that change the property's fortunes. Through local help, resourceful problem‑solving, and a few daring searches the source of the disturbances is revealed and the homestead is gradually made into a workable, hopeful project.
