First US edition. The second book in Blyton’s Adventure series. Philip, Dinah, Jack and Lucy-Ann when they go to stay in a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, just below a strange old castle high up in the mountains. Together with the little wild girl, Tassie (and Philip’s pet fox cub, Button), the children can’t resist climbing up to the castle and seeing if they can find a way inside. But things take a sinister turn as they discover the hide-out of a gang of men who are using the castle for their own purposes — and suddenly the children are prisoners in the castle. Can they find a way to get word to the outside and uncover the gang’s nefarious plans?
