A Castle in Fairyland and other stories of the Carson Family and Their Mansions
By Evelyn Shuster Worthen
1984
The authors father, William C. Shuster, an all-around handyman and
cleaner, worked closely with the Carson family particularly Charles Sumner Carson,
timber magnate William Carsons middle son. The easy-to-read volume covers everything
from Sumners childhood to the now-famous Ingomar Club (originally the Carsons
elegant and ornate waterfront home) to the construction and later demolition of Sumner and
his wife Amelias impressive home as well as numerous tales reflecting the Eureka of
days gone by.
