Brimstone in the Garden // The Greenwood Shady — Elizabeth Cadell

An engaging story of strange happenings in an English village. But Deepwood is no ordinary village, the flat-dwellers at the Lodge are no ordinary tenants, and there is the matter of two extraordinary gentlemen not of this world at all.

Tourists found it hard to imagine a quainter, more lovable spot than Deepwood Village; but the villagers were not quite as lovable as their surroundings. Deepwood House, too, was chiefly known as the home of three wicked and rich Stirlings. So one summer Deepwood attracted some rather strange visitors as well as the tourists -- visitors who withered flowers at a touch and were known to leave cloven hoof-marks. The effect of these diabolic guests on the present inhabitants of Deepwood House is told with irresistible wit and gusto.
