Прилаживая новую раму в комнате на чердаке старого коттеджа, рабочий роняет бутылку из зеленоватого стекла, спрятанную за наличником. С такого незначительного происшествия и началась эта история в провинциальном английском городишке Лэдшеме. Но дальше - больше. На грифельной доске перед калиткой кто-то оставил весьма загадочное послание, написанное архаичным языком: это объявление, в котором предлагаются знахарские и магические услуги. Семья любознательного Джеймса Харрисона переехала в этот уютный скрипучий и приземистый дом "с историей" всего две недели назад.

The classic ghost story from Penelope Lively, one of the modern greats of British fiction for adults and children alike.
James is fed up. His family has moved to a new cottage – with grounds that are great for excavations, and trees that are perfect for climbing – and stuff is happening. Stuff that is normally the kind of thing he does. But it's not him who's writing strange things on shopping lists and fences. It's not him who smashes bottles and pours tea in the Vicar's lap. It's a ghost – honestly. Thomas Kempe the 17th century apothecary has returned and he wants James to be his apprentice. No one else believes in ghosts. It's up to James to get rid of him. Or he'll have no pocket money or pudding ever again.
An iconic ghost story for children, The Ghost of Thomas Kempe is adored by generations of readers.
