Title: Ghost Girl - a True Story
Description: London, Macmillan. 1992, First Edition. (ISBN: 0333567900). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which has one small crease to one inner flap. A true story of a young girl, Jadie, who is so wounded by events in her life that she believes that she is a ghost. An elective mute, her body is so contorted as to make her appear crippled and when her new teacher, the author, who specialises in disturbed children, persuades her to speak, Jadie explains that her posture is to 'keep my insides from falling out'. The child's preoccupation with strange cultish symbols and perverted sexual acts points to an interpretation that the author's colleagues are unable to accept and are the vividly described episodes the bleak truth or the tortured imaginings of a seriously disturbed child. A gripping account of the problems of dealing with suspected child abuse and a psychological horror story. B2C. Fine/Near Fine.
