Description

A bustling auction hall in the early 1900s sets the stage, where a curious wooden box—sold for a modest sum—captures the attention of a shy but determined young buyer named Julian. The lively crowd, the crackle of speculation, and the promise of hidden treasure give the scene a blend of humor and suspense, hinting that not everything is as ordinary as it seems.

From that moment, Julian’s intrigue pulls him into a world of mining towns, whispered legends, and a looming mystery that seems to follow the box wherever it travels. Along the way he encounters quirky companions, a nervous spy, and the rumors of a mine that haunts those who dare to explore it. Listeners will be drawn into the first act’s lively marketplace and feel the pull of adventure before the true danger of the haunted mine begins to surface.

Harry Castlemon

1842–1915

A hugely popular writer of adventure stories for young readers, he turned Civil War experience and a love of the outdoors into fast-moving tales of gunboats, camping, hunting, and frontier life. Writing as Harry Castlemon, he helped shape the style of boys' series fiction in the late 1800s.
