Dear readers,
Are you afraid ghosts? Or do you live by horror flicks and novels? Today I will be reviewing Ruskin Bond's Favourite Ghost Stories from Around the World which is written by Ruskin Bond.
If you've read my previous horror book reviews such as '13: The Unlucky Number' which reviews the book Room 13 and 'The Other World...' which reviews the novel Coraline, you might have figured out that I prefer horror stories which don't keep you awake all night. And this exactly what this book is. It contains a number of interesting ghost stories but without frightening you to death.
This book contains a number of short stories from around the world and from other books. There are stories from Haiti, such as 'Toussel's Pale Bride,' 'When Glister Walked,' from Borneo, 'My Brother's Ghost Story' from Switzerland, 'The Undertaker' from Russia, 'Lalla Radha and the Churel' from India, 'The Boy Who Drew Cats' from Japan and so many more stories.
I really think these stories are entertaining and gripping, although you may need to use a dictionary for a few because some use older vocabulary that you may not know. The style of writing varies from the country and the author, but still the book has a great flow. Some authors in this book are Jerome K. Jerome, Amelia B. Edwards, Oscar Cook, Ruskin Bond himself and numerous other writers.
I recommend this book to ages 9 and above.
Ruskin Bond has written many other books such as The Blue Umbrella, Mr. Oliver's Diary, Crazy Times With Uncle Ken, Rusty Runs Away, Rusty: The Boy From the Hills and many more books. and short stories.
