Gently Spooky Stroies For Halloween

The stories in this collection tend not to be overly frightening, which makes them ideal for children but adults can find them equally enjoyable. There are stories by Dickens, Saki, Kafka, Maupassant and Ray Bradbury along with some by relatively unknown authors. The "Monkey's Paw" is collected along with an unfamiliar M. R. James "Lost Hearts." The stories range from the sad and poignant"The Little Yellow Dog" about the ghost of a dog to the spooky "A Legion Marching By" about a ghostly Roman legion in Britain. The illustrations add a lot to the presentation.
