Castles in the Air is a beautifully written, autobiographical story
of rescuing an ancient mansion. Gwydir Castle was inhabited by
ravers and rats until Judy Corbett and her husband Peter Welford
found this 500-year-old house mouldering in the foothills of
Snowdonia. Despite the toads, strange smells and squatters, they
decided to mortgage themselves to the hilt to bring the castle back
to life. This is an evocatively written and genuinely moving book
and is infused with an extraordinary sense of place. The couple's
adventures in a gothic wonderland lead them through plots both
supernatural and historical. In a museum storeroom in a Bronx
warehouse they find a missing room, in the castle's Solar Tower the
ghost of a young woman appears and from the far edges of the woods
a silent man called Sven emerges to befriend the couple and their
beloved castle. For everyone who has ever wanted to live in a
glorious house or escape from the mundanity of life - Castles in
the Air is pure magic.
