Description
Get ready to chuckle and to shiver - sometimes both at once! Within these pages you'll encounter situations that are scary or amusing, but always unforgettable. Here are just three of them: when blundering kidnappers snatch a little boy, the hilarious events that follow will leave you wondering who the "victim" really is; two old friends enter the gloomy wine cellar, its cold walls dripping with dampness. Only one of the friends will ever leave; and riding home from a late-night party, a timid schoolmaster is pursued by a terrifying man on horseback - a man with no head. - Back cover. To help students experience the joys and benefits of reading, Townsend Press presents the Townsend Library - a collection of high-interest classics. Each Townsend Library book has been carefully edited to maintain the original story while updating language and style for today's readers. - Publisher.
