Description
Miss Atkinson has written a delightful story that will thrill our younger readers. In it six children, all interesting characters, set out to prove that there are no such things as ghosts, although Wilbrow Manor, near which they are enjoying a holiday, is said to be haunted. They explore the manor thoroughly, setting traps for unauthorized visitors, and after weird experiences with footprints, strange noises, and ladders that disappear unaccountably, they find down a well a secret passage that leads to a mysterious room in the basement. But one of the ghosts turns out to be the village grocer, descendant of its former owners and has no evil intentions. So everything ends well, and readers will enjoy the clever detective work of the ghost hunters, and the fun they have during the hunt. There are many illustrations in line.
