The Mystery of the Ravenspurs — Fred M. White

A globetrotting mystery from 1911 that sees the action moving from England to Tibet (listed as Thibet on the title page but changed for readability sake in the body of the story).As local fishermen work at their task of pulling fish from the North Sea, a flask of fed light is spotted coming from a beautiful, old castle that overlooks the water. Thus it has been for many generations. The Ravenspurs and their fortress have made history for more than five hundred years where every man has performed daring and brave deeds, many bloody and deadly, fighting for their King and their flag. Theirs is a record to be proud of. Time has not badly weathered the ancestral home of the Ravenspurs. It is about the most perfectly preserved medieval castle in the nation. Now, a mystery and a romance will force the current Ravenspur to action and a travel adventure that will prove his love and his merit as a Ravenspur.
