Synopsis:

This is a decent compilation of older classic ghost stories, all of which involve children one way or another. Norton put together the collection back in 1974 and the stories were vintage even then. Nothing too horrific or graphic here, and it makes a solid addition to any ghost story collection. The book is divided into three sections, and the contents include: Introduction by Andre Norton Ancient Evils: Saloozy by Margery Lawrence Herodes Redivius by A. B. L. Munby The First Sheaf by H. R. Wakefield Vengeful Spirits: How Fear Departed from the Long Gallery by E. F. Benson The Old Nurse's Story by Mrs Gaskell Lost Hearts by M. R. James Quiet Visitors: A Little Ghost by Hugh Walpole Playmates by A. M. Burrage Faithful Jenny Dove by Eleanor Farjeon
