Review

This is the ideal ghost story and the author writes with such conviction as to make the story quite credible; above all, she writes with a curious understanding of and pity for the ghosts who are, quite obviously, as real to her as the flesh and blood people in her tale. --Times (London) Literary Supplement

Almost immediately psychic manifestations occur which grow stronger after every visit of the lovely Stella, who was born in the house, and whose mother has died there.
