A delightful old tale of a creepy old house, a missing plate, and some spectral scares. Perfect length for a Christmas eve read and a welcome new tradition for our Christmas.

Delightful short story about obsessive collecting of china plates and how that can get one into a spot of trouble. Also, there is a ghost.

Another well-done story. I quite liked the good spirits of Martha Pym as she goes in search of her missing plate. Bowen does a very good job of establishing the atmosphere, taking us through a visit where we can sense that something is wrong, and the presenting us with a very effective denouement at the end. A very fun ghost story.
