Excellent little story. Read in two brief sittings and was dwelling on the outcome the whole time between.

Another short read!

Lightly creepy and very lightly Christmas, there's not much to this book but the last scene of horror is pretty good, before it all gets resolved quite simply. Read at night over a few nights, it lost some impact, but it is short enough one could read it to an audience in the mood for a longish storytime.

I really liked this one. I enjoyed the combination of horror with humour - the Peverils blithe approach to the ghosts that haunt their house, contrasted with the horror felt towards the two baby ghosts, worked very nicely. Benson does a great job of building the terror when Madge falls asleep in the long gallery. Well-done, with a deft touch.
