4.9/5 (33098 ratings)

Description:~ A Collection of Short Stories by Various Authors -- Edited by Andre NortonJust because a ghost is young doesn't mean he or she lacks any of the supernatural powers of an adult spirit. The ghost child of "The Old Nurse's Story" by Mrs. Gaskell seems an irresistibly pretty playmate but is really a dangerous threat to a living little girl. The twin babies who haunt E.F. Benson's chilling tale, "How Fear Departed from the Long Gallery", are scarcely old enough to walk, yet nearly everyone who sees them comes to an indescribably terrifying death. But not all child spirits are born of evil: Hugh Walpole's "A Little Ghost" and A.M. Burrage's "Playmates" have a greater than human capacity for bringing joy and comfort to the living.Once acquainted with the ghost children gathered in this compelling anthology, readers of all ages will need little persuasion that young ghost can avenge, haunt, terrify and, occasionally, pacify, with the best of the grown-ups. This assortment of ghost stories is eerie, touching or funny, and never quite what you would expect. The Excellent selections will please ghost-connoisseurs of all ages.Contains Introduction, by Andre NortonAncient Evils: Saloozy, by M. Lawrence Herodes Redivivus, by A.B.L.
