About this audiobook
A young couple finds the perfect country cottage with one caveat - it has a horrible legend attached to it. ¶Edith Nesbit wrote under the name E. Nesbit, and is most famous for her stories for children, and has influenced the likes of J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis and P.L. Travers. She wrote over 60 books, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It, and The Story of the Treasure Seekers. ¶Her second, darker reputations was as a purveyor of horror stories, which are sublime in their elegance and simplicity. This story is quite simple, but when you take into account the beauty of the language, the skill of the plot movement, and the intriguing supporting characters, it really ranks high when it comes to classic ghost stories.
