The Ghosts of Badger Wood (The Carrington Children, #2)

by R.M. McLeod

Overview

The Carrington children are on holiday in the English Lake District when they discover an injured badger cub lying in a ditch. The animal is cared for by their host, the owner of their holiday home and a former vet. When the injured beast is at last ready to be returned to the wild, the children learn of a plot by badger-baiters to dig out the local sett and use the animals in their violent, evil and extremely gruesome pastime.

Immediately the children try to warn people, but few adults believe their story. Even those who do assure them nothing could ever happen to the badgers for no one has dared to bother the residents of Badger Wood for nearly a century. Why? Because the wood, and all the peace-loving creatures that dwell within it, are guarded by the ghosts of the long-dead soldiers of the village of Merethwaite – well – they are – aren’t they?

About the Author

From being a small boy, R.M. McLeod has always been interested in ‘a good read’ and promised himself, from being a young boy, that one day he would also write one.

He has had two books published in paperback – The Witches of Lewthan Mountain and The Escape of Athelwan. The Ghosts of Badger Wood has also been serialised in the North West Evening Mail.

He lives in a fairly remote area of Cumbria and, he advises, it is the incredibly beautiful scenery surrounding his home that inspires the fantasies he so loves to write.
