Wolverden Tower (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161486223)

Wolverden Tower is a mystery novel written by Grant Allen. The story is set in Wolverden, a small town in England, where a wealthy businessman named Mr. Briony has built a tower on his estate. The tower is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there many years ago. When Mr. Briony's daughter, Hilda, comes to stay with him at the tower, strange things begin to happen. Hilda hears strange noises and sees ghostly apparitions. She becomes convinced that the ghost is real and is trying to harm her. Meanwhile, a young man named Frank Mildmay arrives in Wolverden and begins to investigate the mystery of the tower. As he delves deeper into the history of the tower, he uncovers a dark secret that threatens to destroy the Briony family. Wolverden Tower is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.From the recesses of the temple -- if temple it were -- from the inmost shrines of the shrouded cavern, unearthly music began to sound of itself; with wild modulation, on strange reeds and tabors. It swept through the aisles like a rushing wind on an �����olian harp; at times it wailed with a voice like a woman's; at times it rose loud in an organ-note of triumph; at times it sank low into a pensive and melancholy flute-like symphony. It waxed and waned; it swelled and died away again; but no man saw how or whence it proceeded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
