Roman Tales: The Grim Ghost

From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named ''the outstanding children''s non-fiction author of the 20th century'' by Books For Keeps

____________________

AD 113

The young boy Pertinax helps his grandmother prepare a feast in Pliny''s household. As all the workers are busy in the kitchen, the young boy keeps Pliny company in the garden. He is told a story by the great Pliny himself. The tale is of a terrifying ghost that haunted a garden. But there''s no truth in ghost stories ... or is there?

A tale based on a key moment in Roman history, full of Terry Deary''s dark humour and dry wit.
