SummaryThe latest delightful tale in Albert's Beatrix Potter
series.
Out of spite for having his haystacks burnt, Mr. Harmsworth
barricades a common path through his orchard—and
Tabitha Twitchet and her Cat Council want answers. Reliable
witnesses, including some Big Folk, say the arson was the
handiwork of a lantern-wielding specter. The mournful ghost
has a message—and Miss Potter, for one, hopes to
figure it out.
Meanwhile in Sawrey, romance buds between the schoolmarm and
a confirmed bachelor; Hyacinth Badger hopes to be the first
female to earn the Badger Badge of Honor; and a rumor has
Beatrix and the solicitor practically betrothed. But the
matter of the barricade involves everyone—and Miss
Potter and her friends might have to take matters into their
own hands—and paws.
