- THE GIRL WITH THE RED RIBBON -This 421 page novel was written by the award winning British author PF Farraday. An enthralling and enchanting story it follows a dark and mysterious secret of the rich Barrington Family and the Earl of Leicster whom in 1533 was cursed by the fate of a five hundred year old Chinese painting 'The Girl with the Red Ribbon'. }}}}}}}}}} THE PLOT }}}}}}}}}}In 2014, a fresh-faced and recently graduated historian takes on his first job to purchase an old but unknown painting on behalf of the National Trust. Andy, the geeky intern is sent to Christie's auction house in New York to bid on the tattered painting of 'The Poor Chinese Girl', which once belonged to a wealthy noble family in Leicestershire, England. After being outbid by a secret buyer for a cool $5.5m, the puzzled graduate begins to dig deeper into the story behind the painting to discover why the artifact is so highly sought after. The answer lies in a dark secret documented in the archives of the highly-regarded rich Barrington family.In 1922, the Earl of Leicester and his wife died in a tragic car accident. Their only surviving son William Henry Barrington, the 12th Earl, was just thirteen years old when he inherited the estate, its priceless possessions and a large fortune. Lonely and grief stricken in the enormous castle, he begins to hear strange whisperings and noises coming from the cellar. One night young William throws on his dressing gown and slippers and by candlelight he slowly makes his way down old winding the stone stairs to the cellar. A dark place and creepy place indeed the tiptoes his way through a maze of doors until he finds one marked 'Keep out'. The noise ceases as he enters and finds himself standing before a dusty old painting from 1533 which is covered by a grubby white bed sheet. Nervously and filled with dread and fear the boy steps forward and tears the dust cover down, revealing the 'Painting of 'THE GIRL WITH THE RED RIBBON'. He lifts his candle aloft and for some time just stands in awe at the beautiful and enigmatic girl. But as the moonlight slowly creeps through the tiny cellar window the image begins to change. Her eyes become angry - hard and as dark as coal. Suddenly the door slams shut and a demented cackle reverberates around the room as the girl's spirit peels away from the canvas and frantically flies around the room. Quickly, the earl throws the cover back over the painting, runs out the cellar back up the winding stone staircase and locks his bedroom door. He vows never to return to the room again. But it's too late, the spirit has been awakened.​Thirty years on, and as the rich earl grows older and more reclusive he becomes tired of the world outside full of people always holding out their hand and his hypocritical socialite friends. He yearns for the answer to a simple question: 'what do we really need in this life to be happy?' He spends more and more time alone in his studying the world through a book and obsessing over the 1533 painting. For countless months he sit in his library looking through old books and digging into it's history when one day he finds a handwritten note hidden between the pages of an old dust manuscript. Earl Westland Barrington - the first earl of Leicester - tells of a very dark secret and declares in the note that he made a terrible mistake by bringing the painting to England. After a lot of thought and growing ever tired of his dull privileged life, the lonely and eccentric earl whom having never traveled outside of England decides take a long boat voyage half way around the world in an attempt to return her to China. His travels turn into an amazing journey as it takes him down a path of self-discovery, humility and spirituality. But little does the great earl know that the biggest discovery is yet to come. The simple painting of the poor Chinese girl holds the answer to his life-long soul-searching question.
