AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The boys in Kynemore like to play cricket in Wishart's paddock, a wilderness where once gold was found. A rambling deserted mansion on the property, Wishart's Folly, is said to hold the ghost of Mark Wishart who died five years earlier. There are more things going on here than just a game of cricket. The young cricketers locate the mysterious Mark Wishart and find a hidden fortune in gold.
