Uncle Morgan's Ghost Budd Westreich

UNCLE MORGAN'S GHOST By Alice and Budd Westreich Herb Garcia, our part-Indian, part Mexican-American hero from Bronco, New Mexico, always believed the best thing to do to a ghost was laugh at it. But when he visits his English friend, Filbert Golightly, at Sudbery Hall in England, he stops laughing. Filbert's Uncle Morgan, Fourth Earl of Stanbury, refuses to rest in his grave like a good chappie and instead skulks about the halls of Sudbury, trying to retrieve the sword that did him in. Legend has it that when the sound of a hunting horn is heard, the ghost of Morgan appears and disaster strikes the residents of the Hall. Filbert tells Herb that he heard the sound of the horn, after which one of his house guests vanished. He heard it again, and his dog Beowolf disappeared. Add to these goings on, a gang of smugglers and a lively gaggle of English eccentrics and friend Herb seriously wonders if he and his scalp will ever make it back to the States in joint company. A different mystery, with the accent on fun. Alice and Budd Westreich of Westreich Publishing have once again brought back another classic from the 1960's for modern readers of all ages to enjoy.
