![]() ![]() ![]() Tamsin’s family, like all local residents at the time, was drawn into the conflict of the Monmouth rebellion and the bloody retribution following its failure, and Jenny soon determines that some remnants of this history holds Tamsin’s ghost to the Willoughby manor. ![]() In the brief respites from working with her family to resurrect the derelict farm, Jenny digs into the background of the original owners, the Willoughby family, and their connections to the turbulent history and rich lore of Dorset county. Although Dorset is rich in ghosts, Jenny finds that Tamsin has appeared only to young girls, and has spoken to none of them except herself. In addition to a new stepfather and two stepbrothers, Jenny finds that in her new life she has also acquired some denizens of the local folklore population and a 17th century ghost named Tamsin. ![]() Thirteen is a difficult age for anyone, but made even more for Jenny Gluckstein, transplanted from New York City to a farm in Dorset, England, via her mother’s remarriage to an English biologist. Reprinted from the December 1999 issue of Mythprint (Volume 36:12, Whole No. 213). ![]()
