A Laugh-Out-Loud Ghost Story from the Master Storyteller
What happens when a mischievous ghost from the past crashes into the present? Young Bess gets the shock of her life when she meets the ghost of Sir Walter Raleigh—yes, the cloak-in-a-puddle legend—who claims to be her ancestor! But living with a cigar-smoking, horse-stealing, history-making ghost isn’t easy.
From breaking fishing rods to causing chaos at home, Sir Walter’s antics leave Bess juggling secrets, surprises, and some very awkward explanations.
Michael Morpurgo weaves history, humour, and heart in this delightful tale that proves ghosts aren’t always gloomy—sometimes they’re just brilliantly bonkers.
