Porlock: the Mystery of the Thirteen Steps

Jonathan Mountfort

Description

It is 1904, and every day the coaches plying between Lynmouth and Minehead scramble theirway up and slither their way down the 1 in 4 gradient of Porlock Hill, the most feared hill in all of England. It takes six sturdy horses to drag a laden carriage to the top. There, the leading pair are detached and led back down into the village by a boy, a boy who knows how lucky he is to have been given such a responsible job at such a young age. But on this day in May, on his return journey with the tired horses Pug and Delia, he spots what looks like a sheep sheltering on the hillside. But as he gets closer, his heart races as he becomes aware... it is not a sheep... it is a white dress...
