Ruskin Bond’s readers range from nine to ninety. And if there are such things as ghosts there are probably a few who are reading him in the spirit world. Over the years, Bond’s interest in the supernatural has led him to collect ghost stories from all over the world. As he says in his introduction, "Ghosts don’t require passports. They can turn up without papers in the most unexpected places!" In this collection he presents a picture of a ‘haunted India’ as seen and described by British writers, officials and travellers during the 19 and 20 centuries. Some ghosts are scary, some sad and some funny. All are entertaining. It is fifty years since Ruskin Bond published his first story. He celebrates the occasion with this anthology.
