Instead of being ghastly and skeletal as a bloodcurlingly fearsome ghost, he's pink and fluffy, like a summer cloud. He longs to be like his brother, who's a Screaming Skull. Or his father, who has stumps for legs and a sword through his chest. Or even his cousins who are vampire bats. Poor Humphrey, though, can't scare anyone. But when the ghosts are in danger, it's clever Humphrey who comes up with a rescue plan...©1975 Eva Ibbotson (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Humourous Fiction Literature & Fiction Multigenerational Family Scary Stories Science Fiction & Fantasy Haunted Scary Fantasy Ghost

This gently humorous yet prescient and humanistic book is delightful. If I had read this as a child I would have loved it deeply, and listening as an adult it is perhaps even more beautiful for recognising how many truths are contained within a charming fantasy full of ghosts and supernatural beings whom you will definitely want to be your newest, best, invisible friends. Comfort food for your ears!

A comforting classic
