Meet the wonderfully weird Otherhand family and their faithful guardian, Edgar t
he raven, and discover the dark secrets of Castle Otherhand. Edgar is alarmed wh
en he sees a nasty looking black tail slinking under the castle walls. But his w
arnings to the inhabitants of the castle go unheeded: Lord Valevine Otherhand is
too busy trying to invent the unthinkable and discover the unknowable; his wife
, Minty, is too absorbed in her latest obsession - baking; and ten-year-old Cudw
eed is running riot with his infernal pet monkey.
Only Solstice, the black-ha
ired, poetry-writing Otherhand daughter, seems to pay any attention. As the lowe
r storeys of the castle begin mysteriously to flood, and kitchen maids continue
to go missing, the family come ever closer to the owner of the black tail...Dedi
