Devon Ghost Tales Summary

Devon Ghost Tales by Janet Dowling

These spooky ghost tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller Janet Dowling. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these stories are as eerie and mysterious as the windswept moorland, wild shorelines and rugged landscapes from which they derive. Here you will find stories of a voice beyond the grave, a ghost on the pivot between heaven and hell, and the spectres of Viking princes on moonlit roads. Richly illustrated by Vicky Jocher with original drawings, these atmospheric tales are perfect for reading aloud in front of a roaring fire or alone under the covers on dark, stormy nights.

Devon Ghost Tales Reviews

Janet Dowling's respect for the spirit and setting is tangible: you get the feeling she has hollowed herself out and let the story come through as it sees fit - each story a ghost in its own right. A beautifully balanced and pitch-perfect collection, this is for all fans of the eerie, uncanny and the downright spooky. -- JANE TALBOT * AUTHOR OF THE FAERY THORN *
