Synopsis:
The hobgoblin of Widford Manor in the Cotswolds is sorely tried by a Puritan family that moves in from the city during the revolutionary 17th century.
--assembled from multiple reviews and capsules
"His life is spent watching and warding over an old house, keeping harm at bay, and doing what he can to further the happiness of the inhabitants, who cannot always see as clearly as he can what it will suit them to do."
--review by Jill Paton Walsh The Christian Science Monitor 1977-05-04 p34 (very positive)
