  • "The Boggart, in his draughty castle home, was one of the Old Things of the world, but his world is about to change. The last of the MacDevens was dying, and the Scottish island from which Castle Keep rose was to be inherited by his distant family, who lived in the Canadian city of Toronto. The Boggart, of course, plays practical jokes, spills the milk, and generally confuses and baffles the newcomers, not maliciously, but rather because that's what the Boggart does when he lives with a family - a sort of invisible jester. However when he goes to sleep in a desk he makes a rather serious mistake and wakes up in Canada - an opportunity to cause chaos in many more lives! But the Boggart is an Old Thing, and this new country can't take the place of his ancient Scottish home."@en
