Went to England to live with his ony remaining relative, ten-year-old Tommy Bassumtyte found Cousin Thomas not at all what he expected, but Boxleton House, where Thomas lived, was more wonderful even than Grandpa's old tales of it. Butilt by a Bassumtyte more than four hundred years ago, the beautiful old house had changed very little since, though lately it had fallen upon hard times and sat cold and damp in its neglected gardens. It actually had a secret room, which Thomas challenged Tommy to find. Butthe room, once found, proved to be part of a still deeper riddle. Was there some truth to Grandpa's old rhyme about a Bassumtyte treasure? And Tommy unriddle it before Thomas was forced to sell his beloved Boxleton House?
