A ghost story for children, written by an Oxford and Harvard graduate. * * * Far, far away, in a small mountain village, where the sloping green fields touched the icy blue skies, was a school for children. It was a boarding school, which means that the children studied, played, slept, shared, and lived in the school. There were kind teachers and happy cooks and busy gardeners who looked after the children. Also staying in the school were ghosts. Ghosts are spirits of people who are no longer living. There can be funny ghosts and scary ghosts. The ghosts usually came out at night.
