A wonderfully atmospheric collection of short stories, rooted deep in the landscape and inspired by traditional folk tales and country legends from England and France. These tales are richly populated by ghosts and spirits seeking revenge; by grief-struck women and haunted men coming to terms with their destiny - all rooted deep in the elemental landscapes of Sussex, Brittany and the Languedoc. The collection will include THE MISTLETOE BRIDE, LA FILLE DE MELISANDE, RED LETTER DAY, THE LENDING LIBRARY, and THE HOUSE ON THE HILL. . .
