Mrs. Molesworth's Ghost Stories: The Last Four Uncanny Tales
Written by Mary Louisa Molesworth
Narrated by Robert Bethune and Susie Berneis
()
About this audiobook
The first story, The Shadow in the Moonlight, is one of her scariest. A plucky young lady and her brothers confront a ghost that brings the cold of death. Can they resist?
The second story, At The Dip In The Road, is classic Molesworth - a sudden, mysterious encounter that leaves us with unanswerable questions of life and death.
In Old Gervais, we encounter a different sort of ghost - one that cares very much about work left unfinished and clients left unsatisfied. Who knew that ghosts care about customer service?
Last but not least, the story by her son Bevil not only captures a wonderfully uncanny moment, but also presents us with a rare glimpse of life in Patagonia a century ago. It's pretty generally thought that Mary Louisa did a pretty thorough revision of it, but it's a good story and clearly one that she cared about very much.
Enjoy!
