From the author of ‘Little Women’, this Christmas story follows the young Maurice Treherne, who has recently become crippled after saving his friend Jasper’s life. Falsely accused of fraud and suddenly disinherited of the wealth promised to him by Jasper’s family, Maurice finds himself in a thrilling mystery plot. All the while, Maurice is in love with Jasper’s sister, Octavia, whose mother tries everything to keep them apart. ‘The Abbot’s Ghost’ is one of Louisa May Alcott’s hidden gems, full of heart-warming moments, scandals, and perhaps even a real ghost... Louise May Alcott was an American writer who is most famous for her novel 'Little Women' (1868). Her heartwarming and heartbreaking stories typically follow young girls on their journeys to becoming young women. 'Little Women' was recently adapted into film for the seventh time in 2019, starring Saorise Ronan and Timothée Chalamet.

Excerpt from Trehernes Temptation, Vol. 1 of 3 The mansions self was vast and venerable. Before the mansion lay a lucid lake, Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river. Byron. It is late in the afternoon of a cold November day; the winter promises to be unusually severe; a biting north-easter has been blowing without intermission for a fortnight; early as it is, a foot of snow lies upon the roads and fields, and, drifting before the wind, between the high, hedge-topped banks, makes the narrow country lanes almost impassable; the aspect of the landscape, combined with the state of the barometer, which hammer at it as one will, persists in pointing its obstinate finger at Set Fair is calculated to reduce a fox-hunter to despair.

Excerpt from Treherne's Temptation, Vol. 2 of 3 I take her for the flower of womankind. Tennyson. De Ferrieres receives the news of the Challoners' contemplated migration, with many expressions of regret; unlike Treherne, however, he is cheered by a ray of consolation; for he mentally decides to flee from the desolation, the dulness, the ennui, which he assures Reine must inevitably fall upon him at her departure, and to betake himself at no distant period to Cannes; when the delightful task of consoling this pretty Andromeda, for the absence of her Perseus, will be his.
