'I did not believe in ghosts' Few attend Mrs Alice Drablow's
funeral, and not one blood relative amongst them. There are
undertakers with shovels, of course, a local official who would
rather be anywhere else, and one Mr Arthur Kipps, solicitor from
London. He is to spend the night in Eel Marsh House, the place
where the old recluse died amidst a sinking swamp, a blinding fog
and a baleful mystery about which the townsfolk refuse to speak.
Young Mr Kipps expects a boring evening alone sorting out paperwork
and searching for Mrs Drablow's will. But when the high tide pens
him in, what he finds - or rather what finds him - is something
else entirely. In the 'Backstory' discover more classic ghost
stories and some real-life ones too... Vintage Children's Classics
is a twenty-first century classics list aimed at 8-12 year olds and
the adults in their lives. Discover timeless favourites from The
Jungle Book and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to modern classics
such as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Curious Incident of
the Dog in the Night-Time.
