Traduzione di Ilva Tron Un'ombra che si allunga sul pavimento, una porta che scricchiola, l'erba del giardino che si piega, ome se un piede invisibile la calpestasse... I mille fruscii, le mille inquietudini delle più classiche storie di fantasmi "all'inglese" tornano in questi dieci delicatissimi racconti, ognuno dei quali è dedicato a qualche inspiegabile, affascinante mistero: lo spettro di un garbato giardiniere torna a visitare il parco tanto amato, un bambino si trova misteriosamente imprigionato in una gabbia d'ombra, e un brivido di paura scende giù per la schiena del lettore, che verrà sempre rassicurato, però, da un finale sorprendentemente lieto. Ed è come se l'autrice raccontasse a chi vuole ascoltarla delle insolite fiabe per "bambini grandi".
