To Banbury Cross

To Banbury Cross is the rollicking story of the expanding adventures of a feisty young girl, Tali MacIntyre, the quintessential tomboy, whose growing up takes place right on the pages of your heart. It is the story of intrigue in the form of the castigating Castlebalms and their unforgiving machinations, and fantasy in the form of a mesmerizing parrot. And how her desire to befriend a wild stallion intersects with the desire to have her become a young lady as instigated by her grandmother and the rich and scheming goggly-eyed Ivana Gablehurst, is as memorable as is the happening itself. And that for an entirely different reason.
“I love that man Captain Blood. And I mean to have him if it’s the last thing I do!”
Benjamin Lanzbaum, his wife Esther and their seven boys and Lyla, Tali’s maid and mentor, have accompanied Tali on this journey of a lifetime. Gordon MacIntyre, the grandfather and lighthouse keeper, becomes their hero. How they all come together and interact becomes a classic read.
