He writes: “During the winter the world of the dunes and the great beach was entirely my own, and I lived at the Fo’castle as undisturbed as Crusoe on his island.” Here at my mountain cabin I often feel the same, as the summer residents have returned to their homes in warmer locales. And like Beston, I too feel as if I have the entire valley to myself, to celebrate the peace and tranquility that this time of year brings. And yet, here is another passage of Beston’s, which I feel describes the winter sky in my photo: “There is a winter change of color, as well. The warm golden quality vanishes and is replaced by a tone of cold silver-grey, which makes no flashing answer to the sun.” https://annalecehunter.com/blog/2019/12/27/dickens-the-story-of-the-goblins-who-stole-a-sexton-monthly-short-stories-december-2019 monthly 0.5 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019283727-LE61JKYT5ZNQUXEL6CIE/IMG_1397.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019317489-SI8H5XXEW41J5Z9HGHAA/23472456_1707228429288561_1615051576987610233_n.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019378930-NFQVP52WKNJ34PWGPMYL/IMG_1391.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019467002-ZL68PMR68KOPR5QSWH29/IMG_9496.JPG Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019515324-KQY2D2947G30ICBRR2JA/49676449_10213907664744986_8934359847806173184_n.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019653213-ZB8G8183S1139N3T9CRS/IMG_1087.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019705212-U3AS4FMY5D0JTNPDX4K0/17957_106940752650678_8097199_n.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1573019745540-0P2L96L236CLMX8AZFZW/49342342_10213907661584907_5889118324297564160_n.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Charles Dickens: The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton https://annalecehunter.com/blog/2018/11/22/december-photo monthly 0.5 2021-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1542952263655-7049TWSC7QK0N9DQ50G0/46519743_297304041117307_4092834547228475392_n.jpg Passions & Obsessions - As Told After Supper https://annalecehunter.com/blog/2021/10/26/salem-the-witch-city monthly 0.5 2021-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292611780-9RD2B04W803ULW4L7QVK/IMG-4055.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City - Make it stand out The house that inspired Hawthorne’s novel of the same name is known today as The House of the Seven Gables and is situated on the edge of Salem Harbor. It is the oldest surviving 17th century wooden mansion in New England and was built in 1668 for Captain John Turner I, a wealthy sailor and merchant. Two generations of Turners occupied the house before it was sold to Captain Samuel Ingersoll, whose daughter, Susannah, introduced the house to her cousin, Nathaniel, who went on to write his 19th-century gothic tale, immortalizing the manse. Pictured above is also the house’s beautiful seaside gardens, with a trellis and raised flower beds, the breathtaking view of the harbor just out of sight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291588953-Z1Z4GQD92VCH8O55400B/IMG-3982.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291615334-D89B17QD8KWLLUSUZW93/IMG-3933.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291893710-EVYHQWT19IODA20U7USH/IMG-3937.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291914859-PETHIJ69DEXINIWT8351/IMG-3945.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291939676-H25IVKRBKMMVOOPYNFIW/IMG-3955.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635291986492-OVM9WTLUZZJ4FTGT8LYE/IMG-3969.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292028650-Y7R2CUWUQ53RUY9J0I3O/IMG-3999.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292159643-8OZ5YRTMOVJZ3Z5P9L6P/IMG-3984.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292195427-90ECKOWZ8CQ3ODTD789Q/IMG-3985.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292220539-6BWTMUI6DU8DGMP1FE37/IMG-3993.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292261532-B880GBVKDKW8C6YFLFSZ/IMG-3990.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635292293320-E8RECHJ95GTA11SXEHZA/IMG-3981.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635295059164-YD5QKY5PAKLDCBHM4VY6/IMG-4006.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City - Make it stand out The House of the Seven Gables exists in that hazy area between history and myth. On one hand, the museum’s rooms are dedicated to scenes from the novel, such as Hepzibah’s cent shop, pictured above. On the other hand, many of the rooms showcase as if a museum, with architecture and antiques from the past, such as the small, dark kitchen, where my 6’2” and 6’4” husband’s and son’s heads, respectively, nearly touched the ceiling. With an enormous fireplace, the room depicted the 17th century. The beams, bricks, and insulation in the attic are all originals, three-hundred and fifty years old, the post-medieval wooden frame, joined with trunnels,visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1635293362638-FBH09KSX46GID5OUV99K/IMG-2210.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Salem: The Witch City - Make it stand out Entering the museum gift shop after completing our tour of The House of the Seven Gables, I saw it. Shades of purple. A silhouetted tree. A white crescent moon. It was the only one. It was my colors. The purple pillow drew me forward, and I followed, as if spellbound. As I reached for it, I noticed the blue ink on the tag slashing the price in half. It was on clearance. Why had no one picked it up? Had it been waiting for me? At the purchase counter the clerk said, “finally,” with visible relief. “We’ve been trying to sell this forever. Really, I’m surprised no one has picked it up yet. I guess it was just waiting for you.” I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. “I guess so.” The pillow now lives in my writing studio.

The castle was once owned by the Dudley Family: First, John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, from 1547-1553, and then his son, Ambrose Dudley, from 1562-1590. Since Ambrose died without an heir, the castle reverted to the crown. Ambrose was a third cousin to my 13th Great-Grandfather, John Dudley of Newcastle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1592453544608-OA1PFRYF9W2IM2WMQR51/f18dc5d55a134301dc34f2fafcb191ba.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Literature and Writing: My Heritage Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke. Her mother, Mary Dudley Sidney, was a sister to Robert and Ambrose, and lady-in-waiting at the court of Elizabeth I. Mary Herbert was the first English woman to achieve a major reputation for her literature and poetry; and scholars speculate she possibly penned Shakespeare’s sonnets. The Countess of Pembroke was a fourth cousin to my 12th Great-Grandfather, Sir Robert Dudley of Newcastle (Mayor of Newcastle, and knighted by James I). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/a0f99eea-7650-41e1-a624-34b71439594b/Frontispiece_for_An_Account_of_Anne_Bradstreet_The_Puritan_Poetess%2C_and_Kindred_Topics%2C_edited_by_Colonel_Luther_Caldwell_%28Boston%2C_1898%29_%28cropped%29.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Literature and Writing: My Heritage - Make it stand out Anne Bradstreet was the first woman to be recognized as an accomplished poet in the New World. She received an excellent education from her father, Thomas Dudley, who was my 10th Great-Grandfather and served several terms as Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony as well as signed the charter creating Harvard.

He refused marriage to Mary, Queen of Scots, and was supportive of the Puritan movement. During the Spanish Armada, he was commander of the English land forces, and notably, the principal patron of the arts, literature, and Elizabethan theatre. He was a third cousin to my 13th Great-Grandfather, John Dudley of Newcastle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1592453386034-YLFRCO1SPS29QYSHXQNW/71ceceead66e552e5e8d0c480f7b2125.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Literature and Writing: My Heritage Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, and elder brother of Robert. Ambrose and Robert had a very close relationship, in both business and personal life. Of significance, they were the only two surviving brothers of their family, of this Dudley line, and both died without legal heirs. (Ambrose had no children, and Robert an illegitimate son.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1592453514464-6HBOIN515ST21OO7TLPL/800px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Sir_John_Sutton%2C_1st_Baron_Dudley%2C_KG.png Passions & Obsessions - Literature and Writing: My Heritage Arms of my 16th and 17th Great-Grandfather, Sir John Sutton Dudley VI, 1st Baron Dudley, Knight of the Garter.

Originally a wooden motte and bailey castle, shortly after the Norman conquest it was rebuilt as a stone fortification, only to be demolished by the orders of King Henry II. Rebuilding took place in the second half of the 13th Century and culminated with a range of buildings with fortifications. Later the residential buildings were destroyed by fire in 1750, and in the late 19th Century and early 20th, the site was used for fetes and pageants. Today, it functions as a zoo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1592453791796-F31Y2JN7EGHICF7WEFKB/f9db62d08afc56b50c200ce8f08798a9.jpg Passions & Obsessions - Literature and Writing: My Heritage Yanwath Hall, Cumbria. My 15th Great-Grandfather, Thomas Dudley, inherited Yanwath through his marriage to Grace Threlkeld, daughter of Sir Lancelot Threlkeld and Elizabeth Radcliffe. My ancestors resided here for two generations before relocating to Newcastle and then eventually making their way to America. I love the lichen-covered stone roof, the vines flanking the entrance, the welcoming bench, but in particular how today it functions as a farm, changing little since the 16th Century. https://annalecehunter.com/blog/2020/5/15/5f021qmkt6rzjwhauyjg7aq1bbnij8 monthly 0.5 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1589595831823-MLO5GNQ23RZIVNRUMY2E/AhCh14Theirturn.JPG Passions & Obsessions - W.B.

But it was done according to his will.

The mystical well represents the Maules. And the flowers growing from the nook in the gable are known by the neighbors as Alice’s posies. Alice Pyncheon was the great-granddaughter of Colonel Pyncheon. One day, she flung a handful of seeds into the air, in fun. The seeds took root and have continued to bloom year after year.

Was that wise given the Pyncheon family curse? And did building the house over the location upon which the home of Maule once stood provide his ghost the freedom to roam about and haunt the new rooms as he pleased?

Just look at that window! Don’t you agree it resembles the book’s cover art? By the way, if you happen to find yourself in town, consider breakfast here. You will not be disappointed. They have one of the best brunches around (no small feat in this foodie town). I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1542963079451-S4VX5WUZWN0DKQ4SR2K3/46503651_508744602977746_4321463138227585024_n.jpg Bookstore - Blog - Dickens at Christmas https://annalecehunter.com/bookstore/2019/10/22/ghostly-tales-spine-chilling-stories-of-the-victorian-age monthly 0.5 2021-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1571798172371-OAP80LY0RQD9GEWSS2K8/IMG_2324.jpg Bookstore - Blog - Ghostly Tales: Spine-Chilling Stories of the Victorian Age https://annalecehunter.com/bookstore/2019/4/29/bigfoot-hunters-never-lie-by-kate-e-thompson monthly 0.5 2021-10-06 https://annalecehunter.com/bookstore/2019/4/3/9v5llrfbkvg6jwl3h945f32hb79ft6 monthly 0.5 2021-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1554282164690-AJT1AMBYYH4JXIKZR4H7/IMG_1550.jpg Bookstore - Blog - Coyote Speaks: Wonders of the Native American World by Ari Berk, Carolyn Dunn Myth Making in the 21st Century: A satellite dish adorned with the Navajo wedding basket design.

It looks like a nail-biting game of “Button, Button, Who’s Got The Button” with all eyes on my brother, Bryson, wondering if he is the lucky receiver. But knowing me, I probably spun a variation on the classic. On the house you’ll notice the faint shadow of our backyard weeping willow. So many hours I spent reading away a lazy summer afternoon beneath the shade of that tree, watching the long, slender branches swaying in the warm, desert breeze. In the background I love the relics present from another era: the silver trash cans, the yellow tractor sprinkler, and the red plastic tub, our recycling bin before curbside service was available. https://annalecehunter.com/terms-privacy daily 0.75 2018-11-07 https://annalecehunter.com/bookstore-page-2 daily 0.75 2018-11-08 https://annalecehunter.com/passions-obsessions-page daily 0.75 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1553738677422-GJIVG69139UBS2OML6GG/sunrise-in-space-iphone-6-wallpaper-awesome-filipemarcelo-dribble-wallpaper-sunrise-illustration-of-sunrise-in-space-iphone-6-wallpaper.png Passions & Obsessions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1541697376420-7EILPO26J8B49FE50JF7/Dark+Purple+-+Small.png Passions & Obsessions - Annalece Hunter I craft stories full of romance, mystery, history, a touch of something otherworldly and a penchant for the Gothic Tale. https://annalecehunter.com/404-page daily 0.75 2018-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba269039f877062bc0ae8fd/1541303412410-XBJ2SPEAM97G99OKOHMO/16.png 404 Page - Oh Dear!
