Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased original dustwrapper which has a very short closed tear on the bottom edge of the rear panel. Not price-clipped (21s on the front flap).

A collection of retellings of folk tales about ghosts. Ruth Manning-Sanders wrote 22 volumes of folk and fairy tale retellings between 1962 and 1984, all illustrated by Robin Jacques.
