The Lost Ones
Honey De Lacey
Twelve cameo mystery stories, featuring ghostly visitations from the past - be they long-dead children from a previous century ('Swing High, Swing Low'), a dog who averts disaster ('Bracken'), a similarly motivated bellringer ('The Watcher') or the Sea King's daughter ('Stranger from the Sea'). The stories are very quick to read; imaginatively, engagingly realised and evocatively illustrated. The whole tone smacks pleasingly of the fireside folk tale or anecdote.
