Raffles Haw is the richest man in the world, he has gained his money by being able to turn lead into gold.
He moves to Tamfield and bestows all sorts of gifts on the community. He also befriends the McIntyre family (father, son and daughter) and he lets the son and daughter into world.
He helps the son by being a generous partron of his art and he also falls in love with the daughter. The father, a mean and bitter old man, does not experience the benevolence of Raffles Haw.
So much money that Raffles Haw tries to do good with but it changes his relationships and the lives of the people of Tamfield, a town outside of Birmingham. The book gives a wonderful insight into how money changes lives, both for good and bad.
I really enjoyed reading this short book and 8/10 for me.
