5.0 out of 5 stars The Ghosts also known as The Amazing Mr Blunden, 13 Jan 2004
By A. Rogers "angel_redhead" (South Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Ghosts. (Hardcover)
The story starts in Camden Town, London at the end of World War One. It is Christmas & an old mysterious man knocks the door of the Allen family, the recently widowed Mrs Allen,and her children Jamie, Lucy & baby Benjamin. The old man claims to be a solicitor & offers Mrs Allen a job as a caretaker of an old run down country house. Due to their impoverished situation Mrs Allen accepts the old man's offer. Mrs Allen & the children move into a caretaker's cottage in the grounds of the old house. They soon discover that the old man is not what he seems & that he sought them out to help him. Soon, it becomes apparent to Jamie & Lucy that they are there to help two children from the past to put right a terrible wrong. However, in order to do this they have to travel back through time exactly 100 years.....

This is a wonderful & magical children's book, more appropriate to the over 10's. I first read it in 1972 & have loved & treasured my copy ever since (sorry, it is not for sale as it is of great sentimental value). I would urge any child (or adult) to read it. The story takes us from 1918 back in time to 1818, with many adventures on the way & a lovely "twist" ending.

This is a brilliant book, I've had my copy 31 years! It will enthral you. Truly enchanting.

This book was the basis of the Lionel Jeffries' film, "The Amazing Mr Blunden", which is often shown at Christmas time on UK TV.
