This is the adventure story of The Ale Sea. Young Fiona has just been diagnosed with a terrible disease. To help take her mind off her troubles, Grandfather Smitherton has decided to tell her a special bed time story. It is a story about two children, Peggy and Matthew, who love to pretend to be spies and who have a wonderful tree fort to use in their games of espionage. They live in a beautiful stone cottage next to an ancient inn called The Ale Sea. When some very unusual strangers come to visit the Inn, these two go right to work finding out who they are and where they came from. Never in their wildest dreams could they guess where the trail will lead them, and, when one of the visitors gets into trouble, what they will have to do to save the day.
The Ale Sea is a story of secrets and crooks, magic and fantasy, sadness and healing. In the end, it is just what the Doctor ordered. This is a book that will captivate young readers, and is bound to be a hit with smaller children when read out loud to them by their parents. Enjoy the adventure!
