About The House of Dead Maids
Young Tabby Aykroyd arrives at Seldom House to serve as nursemaid to the savage child who will become Heathcliff. On the Yorkshire moors, the ghost of a dead maid and other evil forces surround the house, and Tabby’s attempts at kindness may not be enough to change the boy’s fate.
