Description:Ghosts and witches are no strangers to New England - and the Devil, of course, is at home everywhere. In these lively tales, they go about their ancient business with characteristic Yankee aplomb. Old Berry Booker gives Skipper Perkins a surprising tour of his native Kittery, Maine, and earns herself a nice bit of halibut into the bargain. A gentle but persistent Vermont ghost makes his presence in the woodshed known to a bewildered family. Maria Hallett weaves a mysterious web while a ship is wrecked in a wild storm off Wellfleet. Sam Hart of Woburn wins a horse race - or does he? - and in New Hampshire General Moulton definitely strikes one bargain too many. Rafe Bright takes Jonathan Fayerweather along with him as he peddles broadsides and almanacs in the villages west of Boston, and Jonathan learns some lessons that aren't in the Reverend Increase Mather's sermons. Based on traditional New England legends, these eerie tales of peddlers and parsons and seafarers are filled with a wry wit and a seemly respect for the powers of the invisible world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
