Ghosts and witches aplenty

Nine stories of ghosts and witches taken from old stories and retold for children. (Two of the stories in the hardcover version were omitted in this paperback edition as they weren't about ghosts or witches.) From the back cover: *In the time of the American colonies, the nights were filled with spooky sounds. Clanks and moans! Screams and groans! Rocks flying through the air. Strange knockings at the door. Who-o-o-o is there? GHOSTS AND WITCHES APLENTY. Those were the good old days... or were they?*
