Two Otherworldly Tales 
Uncle Dave’s Car & The Mystery of Betty Moon

‘Two Otherworldly Tales: Uncle Dave’s Car & The Mystery of Betty Moon’ is a remarkable and unforgettable book. ‘Uncle Dave’s Car’ is a highly entertaining and poignant story, set in and around the delightful town of Weymouth in Dorset. When Cordelia Brocklebank, a feisty ex-schoolmistress, takes her dog for a long walk through the Bluebell Woods, she’s in for the biggest surprise of her life. What she discovers is certainly no teddy bear’s picnic, but rather an enigma that sets in motion a chain of phenomenal events, altering her perception of everything and ultimately the course of her life. As we accompany Cordelia on her journey of rediscovery, we are also presented with an eye-opening glimpse into the scarcely believable goings-on of a respectable seaside charity shop, as well as delving into the fascinating world of clairvoyants and spiritualism . . . In the ghostly tale of ‘The Mystery of Betty Moon’, set upon the windswept saltings of the lonely Kentish marshes, we venture forth with the unsuspecting holidaymaker, Neville Cole, through the haunting mist of his recollections into the mysterious world of his childhood friend, Miss Betty Moon.
