STORIES CHOSEN BY GENE KEMP - The Puffin Book of Ghosts and Ghouls

London England, Viking, 1992. First Edition, Binding: Boards, Nick Harris Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0670838497 Hardback The ghosts here are not all just shadowy shapes floating down staircases of old mansions or conventional spooks rattling old armour and chains in dungeons. They all have their individual personalities - some are funny, some shy, some noisy and disruptive while others are grim, formidable and some are downright terrifying. The ghosts and ghouls come to life and cast a spell on us in these haunting tales and as they draw us into their world, they seem to become uncannily real and the living people in the stories uncannily ghostlike. Slight shelf wear to D/J.
