Read Reviews by My Readers

"Belcourt Castle has long been one of the jewels along famed Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, and the author, Harle Tinney knows this house better than anyone else, having lived at Belcourt longer than any of the previous owners. This is a slim book, just one-hundred pages, but well illustrated with over one hundred photos. You get a basic overall view of the castle's history, I just wish she had gone into more detail on the many parties, weddings, concerts, and other events that occurred there during her tenure. Still, this is a welcome addition to books on the history of Newport."

"Belcourt Castle" Reader Review

"This book is full of great ghost stories for an amazing location and it is written by Mrs. Harley Tinney who has lived there for the past 50 years and experienced the stories first hand. I would highly recommend this book and you can go wrong with the price."
