About this audiobook
Who is writing the messages in the dust? What is the story behind the huge skull in the old Watch House? Alone and unhappy in Garmouth, Anne knows the shadows are following her. Spirits of long-dead sailors who won’t rest. And from behind its empty windows, the Watch House is watching her…
THE WATCH HOUSE is the first ghostly story for young readers written by noted author Robert Westall. Originally published in 1977, it was adapted for television by the BBC in 1988.
This brand new audiobook edition marks the first time the classic spooky story has been performed in audio.
Featuring newly commissioned artwork by Barnaby Edwards.
With music by Purple Planet Music.
