An amazing procession of ghosts walk through Mary Williams's pages. Some of them are young, some old, some are sad, some funny - some terrify. There is the elderly Cockey, the ex-Variety Queen, and the ghostly people who live upstairs and walk by twilight. They are friendly, companionable ghosts, but there are others who are more sinister, vestiges of earlier primitive ages remaining to cast their influence over the present. Mary Williams has the power to charm, to frighten, to amuse and to horrify, and employs all these arts in her book.
