I live in a very big city, Buenos Aires.

I have been drawing all my life, ever since I was a child as I didn’t have a TV. I enjoy most of all drawing comic strips and picturing myself and my kids in the illustrations that I create.

My name is Jane and I live in a beautiful Spanish city, Madrid.

I’m an English author of children’s books. I’ve always loved creating stories and songs for children.

The best ideas come to me while…

I’m jogging!

I

t was the school holidays and Harriet, and her friends John and Violet, were staying with Harriet’s father, Sherlock Holmes, and his friend Dr Watson in London.

One day there was a knock on the door.

Harriet opened the door. It was a beautiful woman. ‘Good morning’, she said, ‘I’m Lady Frankie Strangehill. Dr Watson is my friend and I need his help.’

2

Lady Frankie was a photographer. She took photos of famous people, and she was very rich.

She told them, ‘I’ve just moved into the family home, Strangehill Manor. I want to repair it but … there’s a ghost!’

3

3 Lady Frankie told them the story of Lady Emily.

Lady Emily lived in Strangehill Manor a long time ago. She loved Strangehill Manor.

She also loved a young and handsome pirate called Captain Mack.

One day some soldiers caught Captain Mack and took him to prison. After a few months he died.

Lady Emily died too, of a broken heart.

People say that Captain Mack hid his treasure in or near Strangehill Manor.

4 Lady Frankie told them, ‘On dark nights

I see the ghost of Lady Emily. She knocks on the window of my bedroom. I live alone, except for Lily, the home help. Maybe I should leave Strangehill Manor?’

The three children were very excited. ‘A ghost!’ said Violet, ‘And pirate treasure!’ said John.

‘There isn’t a ghost!’ said Watson. ‘It’s something or someone. Shall we go and find out?’ ‘Oh YES!’ said the three children together. ‘I’m very busy with another case,’ said Sherlock Holmes.

‘You go. I’ll come later.’

6

Dr Watson and the three children went to Strangehill Manor in Cornwall. It was on some cliffs by the sea. Below the Manor was a beach with white sand and lots of rocks.

‘Captain Mack’s cave is on the beach. It’s where he kept his pirate boat,’ said Lady Frankie.

‘There’s a path going down.’ ‘Ooooh!’ said Violet, ‘Let’s go there tomorrow!’

7

5 The next day they went down the path to

the beach. They swam in the sea and played volleyball. They didn’t see anyone on the beach, but a man and a woman watched them from the cliffs. ‘Look!’ said Harriet, ‘Who is that man?

And that woman? Why are they watching us?’

8

In the evening, Lady Frankie invited her two nearest neighbours for dinner. They were the people from the beach! Mr Hampton was an actor and a singer. But he wasn’t famous!

Mrs Fisher was a local businesswoman.

She lived in a flat above her garage where mechanics repaired cars and lorries.

After dinner the children agreed that the neighbours were very strange.

6 The children enjoyed themselves at Strangehill

Manor. There were no strange noises or ghosts!

Then one day, about a week later, Dr Watson got a letter with a foreign stamp. He read it and then looked up and said, ‘Harriet, your father needs me. I’m leaving today but I will come back before the end of the month.’
