AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'History and fantasy are woven together to create a tale that is dark and tantalisingly dreamlike when Sara, a young Australian girl on a student exchange in London, meets the ghost of Lady Jane Grey and unwillingly enters her world through a painting. Part coming of age, part ghost story, the haunting images and vivid writing will stay with readers long after the adventure ends.' (Publication summary)
