Because short stories start and finish quite abruptly, they often stay in the mind of the reader and invite them to invent their own alternative endings. The first of these stories happens on a remote mining station, the second in a suburban a family home, the third on a dream holiday. The particular pleasure of these ...

By wrapping the word 'ghosts' from front to back, the cover design encourages a child who is dyslexic to anticipate the word without seeing the whole of it written down. This will be a good achieve...
