BR #12 “STORIES OF HAUNTED HOUSES”

This book is composed of three stories similar to “Stories of Princes and Princesses” which I read these days. First story, Max Moon was on a school field trip to Chillmore Castle. Nat and Norm Nuckle marched up to Max. Max was left behind there. Max met a ghost whose name was Sir Hal. Max was frightened at first, he burst out laughing for Hal’s friendly. Hal worried about his weakness. Max helped Hal. Max went back to his tent, and made Nat and Norm to see Hal and his master, King Hugo. Nat and Norm frightened. Second, Polly Small helped The Highwayman’s Halt which her father ran. The building was built for 300 years, but it didn’t seem to be so old. One day, Mr. Trix visited there. Mr. Trix said to find Percy Flintlock’s treasure. Polly spent the day searching the inn from chimney to cellar. Then, Polly went out, and saw a wooden board. Polly climbed up to the board and found a leather bag. Just then, a ghost appeared. While Polly talked with the ghost, Percy, Mr. Trix appeared and rob the bag Polly. Mr. Trix escaped by a car, and Polly and Percy chased by a ghostly horse which Percy had. In the town, everyone fussed about the ghost’s appearance. Mr. Trix fell into the sea car and all. The police dragged Mr. Trix from the water, but the golden was lost forever. Percy became charmer. Third, Grimly Grange was a crumbling old house full of spiders and spooks. There were Sir Sidney Snuff, Miss Lacey, and Darcy Buckle. One day, suddenly, Load Digby Ruff floated in. Every ghosts had fun of broadcasting on TV and tidied themselves. But, the casters didn’t notice them. The ghosts were depressed. Then, the casters noticed the ghosts who dirty and ragged. And, the ghosts ran off into the night.
