Recenzii

Mesmerising, understated, and convincingly Victorian in tone ... A book for children who enjoy being frightened - and a perfect introduction to Saki and Edgar Allen Poe
My insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed the book
Throbs with sinister brilliance ... The art of the chilling, well-crafted ghost story is still alive and kicking
