CASTLES IN THE AIR by JUDY CORBETT (Signed)

£16.99

Castles in the Air is the beautifully written autobiographical story of rescuing an ancient mansion. Gwydir Castle was inhabited by ravers and rats until Judy Corbett and her husband Peter Welford found and acquired this 500-year-old house mouldering in the foothills of Snowdonia. This is the compelling, mysterious and deeply romantic story of a couple that took on a house, but uncovered a world - from a delicate ecosystem of frogs, bats and mice to ghosts both human and animal. A world full of architectural puzzles that took them years of detective work to solve and sent them on missions to secret museum storerooms in New York.

‘This is an evocatively written and genuinely moving book and is infused with an extraordinary sense of place. For anyone who has ever wanted to live in a glorious house or escape from the mundanity of life, Castles In The Air is for you.’
