A slim volume in which the voice of the story teller is eerily present telling the tales of death in varying garbs. 'Fearless Mary' makes her fortune keeping the ghosts of her masters' families away. A solider finds that conquering death and living for ever more is not the perfect answer. A traveller trades his shadow with the devil and another keeps company with a headless ghost. Each story is short but packed full of atmosphere. There is a sense of truth in the tone which truly haunts. An excellent selection for reading aloud to older children.
