The Far Traveller is a light and frothy tale by the creator of British spy Tommy Hambledon. Manning Coles gives us the Graf van Grauhegel and his servant Franz who, after being dead nearly a century and haunting the castle in the interval, re-materialize in order to right an old wrong so they may finally rest in peace. In the meantime, they also manage to unmask a fraudulent medium...

This is a delightful ghostly romp–light on mystery, but full of fun and frolic. Coles gives the reader likeable characters who partake in crazy antics which are dazzlingly funny. Franz chasing housemaids while clanking about in armor; the Graf's display of swordsmanship; their ghostly escape from jail; the befuddlement of black marketeers and the unmasking of charlatans–this could easily have been made into a comedic action movie.
