First sentence: On a recent trip to England, I stayed at Apsley House Hotel in Bath, which was built by the duke of Wellington for his mistress.
Description: A collection of unnerving tales of events that happened--and still do happen--in the collective back yard of the New England states. Accompanied by evocative illustrations, these retellings of 30 popular folktales feature supernatural occurrences and ghosts of all sorts, from seaweed-strewn sailors to black-eyed dancing maidens. Whether read around the fire on a dark and stormy night or in the backseat of the family van on the way to Grandma's, each expertly told tale is guaranteed to make you look at New England--and over your shoulder--again and again.--From publisher description.
