Tessa's Bookshelf
I love it when a single dusty bookshelf can telegraph so much about a person, even if that person has been gone for years.
These are just a few of the books found found on the shelf of an English woman who led a colorful young life and lived out her last years in the Mallorcan hills:
Claret And the White Whines of Bordeaux - Healy
Hedgerow and Pond - Lodge
A Short History of the English Peoples - Green
Annuals in Color and Cultivation - Mensfield
The KING of the DARK CHAMBER - Tagore
In Search of England - Morton
A History of Classical Scholarship - Sandy's
Poetic Works - Scott
The Twyborn Affair - Wythe
Winnie the Pooh - Milne
I Saw it happen in NORWAY - Hambro
Far Eastern Agent - Moore
The English Kings - Fowler

Try to find if she had anything from the catalonian painter and writer Santiago Rusiñol ...

I see her and I'll bet her ghost walks those halls.

In fact, there have been two independent reports of Tessa's ghost appearing in the house.
