Book Reviews of Jane-Emily: And Witches' Children

Book Review: A classic tale of the supernatural!
Summary: 5 Stars

Many thanks to the publishers who deemed it time to reissue this classic tale of the supernatural by Patricia Clapp. Imagine my delight when I saw the book at a local bookstore, after all these years! I have been relying on my local library all this time [a dog-eared copy that has been lovingly taken care of]whenever I've felt a desire to re-read this timeless ghost story.

For those unfamiliar with the tale, it centers around a nine-year old orphan, Jane who together with her young aunt Louisa, goes to spend the summer with her paternal grandmother Mrs Lydia Canfield. As soon as they get there, a sense of foreboding permeates their visit, as young Jane begins to take an unhealthy interest in her deceased relative, Emily, who died many years ago at a tender young age. Emily however was no sweet little girl, but possessed of a wilful temper, and bent on getting her way, to the detriment of those around her. Are the unusual happenings in the Canfield house a result of coincidences or something more sinister? Is young Jane an overly imaginative young girl or someone who is being controlled by a supernatural force? These and other questions are satisfactorily answered through Patricia Clapp's superb, timeless ghost story. It is high on atmosphere, and is a perfect introduction to the horror genre for younger readers [and even adults like me:)].

Summary of Jane-Emily: And Witches' Children

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!
