Summary

The ghosts of Craggyford Castle have been happy for 500 years. But outside the world is changing. Soon there will be nothing left of their old haunts, with new factories and houses as far as a ghost can see. So they set out to find a new home.

A spooky treat!

This story was an absolute delight! The perfect mixture of haunted and heartwarming. It is beautifully read by Prunella Scales with a very comforting voice. I could practically recommend it just for her performance. The story is very sweet and particularly good for children or nostalgic adults. The message is very touching, especially when you know a little bit about the authors life. This is the perfect book to get into the Halloween spirit!

Just as good as reading the book

I loved this book when I was younger and listening to it again is just as great as the first time. Eva Ibbotson Creates such gruesome but loveable characters! Prunella Scales has a wonderful voice and brings the characters to life. Brilliant for listening while doing other boring things like tidying up!

Great ghostly yucky fun

We had one of those hideous M25 journeys - 2hrs turned into 5 and a half hours - bumper to bumper in driving rain.

My two boys (aged 5 and 7) listened to this story straight through, with delighted giggles at the yucky bits. Thank god we had it!! Other wise the journey would've been 100 times more horrible.
