The Crown Derby Plate

Description

Old Miss Pym returns to Hartleys, an eerie house on the marshes, to recover the missing plate in a precious set of china she bought years ago. The person who greets her at the doora gross, flaccid figure in a shapeless gownguides Miss Pym to the object of her desire. Yet soon after holding the plate, she becomes aware of a smell. A foul smell. A very troubling smell indeed.PRAISE FOR THE CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES SERIESI just bought my set of these and they are PERFECT. I hope they do these every year. Patton OswaltI perused nay, let me say devoured four of the booklets in a night, and although I was in the security of my own domicile, ensconced in a favorite chair, these ghost stories for Christmas, as they are advertised, left me in quite the state of perturbation. Had I any hair remaining upon my pate, I daresay it would have been standing on end.
