This is the first anthology of the author's own favorite ghost stories from the highly successful Jeffrey series of books that began in 1969 with '13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey.' Hundreds of thousands of these books have been sold. The present volume includes 13 of the best of Mrs. Windham's stories, representing mysterious and supernatural doings from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Most of the stories are related to historical places and sometimes to historical people.
"Kathryn Windham is a perfectly working 'Time Machine.' All you have to do is get inside one of her magical stories and you can ride back through lost decades of memory to those things so wonderfully ordinary that they define us all...."
Donald Davis, nationally known storyteller
"The author was...careful to avoid tales of gore and fright. As a result, her ghost stories have been the most popular with school children and get told time and again as the leaves on the trees fall, days get shorter and Halloween approaches."
