In this children’s story by Vivien Alcock, a British girl visits a friend’s house for the first time. Sitting down to tea, she senses that she is being watched by someone hiding in the room. As she moves around the house, she hears strange whispering… “Let me in, please let me in.” She can’t see anyone, and later learns that the plea comes from a ghost that has been following the family for years. Thanks to the girl, the restless spirit is finally able to sleep. Themes include friendship, tolerance, compassion, forgiveness, the supernatural.
