review 1: A nice YA collection of scary stories told by a mysterious stranger to a boy and his little sister, who have grown up in an Inn for sailors and have developed a penchant for macabre story-telling. I like YA books that have a veneer of Victoriana or history, and this fits that genre well. It was a good read around Halloween when I couldn't invest time away from the never-ending paper pile. Each story only takes 10-15 minutes at the most to read.
review 2: The story develops when a mystery sailor visits the childrens inn, when their father has left to get them help whilst they are ill. The sailor tells them stories to pass the time and this leads to an interesting twist at the end. i really did enjoy this book and the tales which an through it. Even though the
... more book is especially written for children, I think adults will enjoy this to. A real sense of fun throughout. Well written and well told. Looking forward to reading the other books. less
