One of these is that the local wildlife seems to be completely at ease with the new residents of Gramarye so tame in fact that they become regular guests within the property. Soon after moving in to the property, the couple are baffled by a number of delightfully odd occurrences. The sale process is a little peculiar to say the least, but after being ‘checked over’ by the previous owner’s solicitor, the cottage is finally theirs. Money becomes a factor in securing the sale, but fortune soon plays on their side, bringing in a sudden influx of additional funds from some unexpected commissions.
Little else is stated in the listing, however Midge feels strangely drawn to it nonetheless.Īfter viewing the property (named ‘Gramarye ’), the young couple feel completely besotted by the small quaint cottage and put in an offer. Scanning the local papers, Midge notices a small advert for a secluded cottage in need of renovation. Together, Mike Stringer (a reasonably successful studio musician and songwriter) and his partner Midge Gudgeon (a moderately successful illustrator), are looking to move to the countryside in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of London life. First published back in 1986, James Herbert’s novel ‘The Magic Cottage’ followed on from an already impressive line of well received publications, predominantly (but not exclusively) within the horror genre.
