Mrs. Searwood, a widow in wartime London, is certain that Hitler has a personal grudge against her, but her life takes a decidedly stranger twist when she finds companionship in a spirit, Chief White Feather, who has been passing the last 300 years educating himself at Britain’s institutions of higher learning. Moving to a small village to get away from the bombs, Mrs. Searwood finds more adventure, and romance, than she would have ever guessed.

Review

“[A] light-hearted whimsy laid in wartime England. . . . A nonsense tale which has its touch of commonsense, this is a warm and friendly fantasia.” Kirkus Review

Review

[P]ure diversion, a kind of ectoplasmic farce. . . . Nonsense? Of course. But delight, too, a chuckling fantasy from a comic-strip imagination of superior inventiveness and wit.” The Saturday Review
