Jane-Emily and Witches' Children - by Patricia Clapp (Paperback)

About the Book

A beloved novel first published more than 30 years ago is available once again. Clapp tells the story of nine-year-old Jane, an orphan spending the summer with her Aunt Louisa and grandmother in an old New England house. But it seems the spirit of Emily, another young girl who lived in the house, has not quite departed.

From the Back Cover

Emily was a selfish, willful, hateful child who died before her thirteenth birthday. But that was a long time ago.

Jane is nine years old and an orphan when she and her young Aunt Louisa come to spend the summer at Jane's grandmother's house, a large, mysterious mansion in Massachusetts. Then one day . . . Jane stares into a reflecting ball in the garden--and the face that looks back at her is not her own.

Many years earlier, a child of rage and malevolence lived in this place. And she never left. Now Emily has dark plans for little Jane--a blood-chilling purpose that Louisa, just a girl herself, must battle with all her heart, soul, and spirit . . . or she will lose her innocent, helpless niece forever.

One of the most adored ghost stories of all time is available again after thirty years--to thrill and chill a new generation!
