Description
In The Old Nurse’s Story, Hester, a teenage girl, is left in charge of a young child in a cold, gloomy manor house under the looming shadows of the Cumberland fells.
She hears strange organ music playing, but everyone tells her it isn’t happening, and she is forbidden from visiting the mysterious East Wing.
She is desperate to keep her young charge safe from some unknown disaster, one she feels sure is coming, and – as the terrible events that have happened in her new home become clear to her – she is increasingly unable to do so…
The Old Nurse’s Story is part of the Galley Beggar Pocket Ghosts range.
Turkey, baubles and jingle bells are all very well – but there’s no better Christmas tradition than the ritual of telling a gripping festive ghost story. Galley Beggar Press have revived this popular tradition in their Pocket Ghosts range – a series of beautiful, collectible books featuring some of the finest stories in the genre.
Shaped to fit into the snuggest stocking, Galley Beggar Pocket Ghosts are the perfect gifts for anyone hankering for some extra Christmas chill and spookiness – as well as a pleasure to read year-long.
