Gripander House, a large rambling villa standing in exofically laid-out gardens, is one of the handsomest of all private houses in the Finnish coastal town of Tulavall. Gossip accumulates round its new owner, Herr Turiam, who is probably a foreigner, perhaps a sorcerer, and certainly a most unusual man.
A young orphan girl Bonadea, sho has previously led an eccentric solitary life with just a hen, Cacklehilda, for company, takes up residence in Gripander House as Herr Turiam's maid. There she finds that none of the gossip is so strange as the truth.
