The "twisted tree" is a blackthorn branch, picked by Tansy Penderil, a naive young Cornish girl, on the same day she meets the handsome but diabolical Roger Chailey in the woods for the first time. But it is not the only souvenir of their encounter: eighteen years later, Tansy's son, David, is the living image of Chailey, sharing not only his father's good looks but also his immoral ways. David's resemblance to her first lover triggers powerful feelings in Tansy and leads to a strange relationship between mother and son, as well as a terrible and shocking conclusion . . . The Twisted Tree (1935) is the extremely rare first novel by Frank Baker (1908-1983), best known for his avian apocalypse novel The Birds (1936) and his classic fantasy Miss Hargreaves (1940). A story that one critic said might have been "written by the ghost of D. H. Lawrence seated on the grave of Mary Webb," Baker's brooding Gothic drama is an important rediscovery that remains a gripping and powerful read. "A dark and terrible tale." - Howard Spring "An imaginative novel told with a haunting sense of subconscious evil . . . The climax comes with startling effect. A vivid and stirring book." - Manchester Evening News "A thoroughly interesting and often moving tale." - Compton Mackenzie

Welcome to the Circus of Myth & Mayhem - where performers re-enact tales of the Norse gods wearing masks which mysteriously change expression, the creepy jester isn't quite human, and the big top is full of the dead. Martha arrives at the circus, deep in the forests of Northern Norway, determined to learn how Nina died. Did she fall from the trapeze as Stig said, or was there more to her 'accident?' Drawn into a dangerous game of the gods, Martha must look behind the mask and see the truth . . . before it's too late. Following the events of THE TWISTED TREE, THE CROOKED MASK continues the story of Martha and Stig as she comes to terms with her magical inheritance.
