Beyond Silence

Eleanor Cameron, R. Ed. Cameron. Laurel Leaf Library, $2.75 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-440-90582-0

""The story is original, gracefully written and credible,'' declared PW when this book was first issued. Cameron's narrator is young Andrew Cames, arriving from America at Castle Cames, in Scotland, his father's ancestral home since 1770. Inexplicable events turn Andrew's thoughts from his recently dead brother to wander over the distant past. He's attracted by the bonny girl who fades into the mist around the castle; he's baffled by a letter addressed to ``Andrew Cames,'' dated 1900, mysteries the author solves finally, with no contrivances.
