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.

They are ghost stories but not so much scary stories. They are the tales that envision what happened before the living became the dead, what happened when they were recently dead, and in the case of the last one what they are still doing.
Quite interesting collection of short stories for a quick read
