Created in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, Ghosts in the Walls showcases eleven spooky stories penned by an impressive roster of writers, among them Faridah ÀbíkéÍyímídé , Alexia Casale , Joseph Coelho , Catherine Johnson , Jasmine Richards and Sam Sedgman , with a foreword from Yvette Fielding , paranormal investigator extraordinaire, setting a fittingly foreboding tone.
Between these pages, readers are treated to the arresting tale of the phantom Birdwoman of the Tower of London, accompanied by the creepy “click, clack” of ghostly ravens. Then there’s the suspenseful story of a prince in a painting hung in Hampton Court Palace’s Haunted Gallery, and a gripping account of an eerie doll’s house.
Given that each entry was inspired by real stories from real historic royal palaces, this is the ideal spooky-season anthology for fans of supernatural fiction and fascinatingly fearsome non-fiction alike. Add to that Pam Smy ’s hauntingly evocative illustrations and Ghosts in the Walls amounts to a great gift for 9+-year olds who love to be exhilarated by spine-tingling stories that might have more than a kernel of truth…
A stunning and spooky collection of ghost stories made in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces. Inspired by real stories from the centuries-old palaces, this book is perfect for fans of the supernatural, but also those who love their history with a touch of scare-factor.
