We follow the fortunes of young Henry Hodgekin who is down on his luck. Some quick thinking and a touch of bravery brings the chance of work on a spooky ghost show, part of a travelling fairground touring old Cumberland. But things don’t go smoothly. Snivel, his pal, threatens to land them in trouble and Henry must work hard to prove his worth as well as win the heart of Jenny, a girl he has always admired. The Ghost Show is based on the real life Biddall family who toured the north of England and Scottish borders with Phantospectra. Biddall’s Ghost-O-Dramas at the turn of the 20th Century. £6.99 including postage |
