More ghostly tales

More ghostly tales from Ruth Ainsworth---her similar collection "The Phantom Cyclist" is remembered fondly by many. (I can only assume that since "Phantom Cyclist" got wide distribution in the 1970's as a Scholastic paperback, it is more widely known than this present volume. I think the two books are very nearly of equal quality, in terms of content.) At any rate, this is an enjoyable collection of spooky stories for younger readers, nicely illustrated by Shirley Hughes. I highly recommend both Ainsworth books. The stories in this volume are: The Phantom Carousel A Sprig of Rosemary Give Me My Bone The Blood Stain Rock-a-bye-baby The Captain's Cabin The Sunset Call Draw the Curtains The White Pony Lay Them Straight Through the Door
