Buy "My Friend Walter" on Amazon

Bess Throckmorton is related to Sir Walter Raleigh but never expects to meet his ghost - as she does on a visit to the Tower of London. He returns secretly with her to the family farm and they build a firm friendship which is sorely tested when her father is declared bankrupt and the farm is sold. Crown jewels come unexpectedly and amusingly to the rescue and provide an exhilarating finale to an exuberant and entertaining book for top junior/1st year secondary readers.
