Alcock L., Arthur s Britain. Histoty and Archaeology A D 367-634 — 1983 (Pelican Books)
This remarkable book assembles all that is known or can be deduced about the most shadowy period of British history since the Roman occupation and about its legendary hero. The author of it is the archaeologist who directed the famous excavations at Cadbury Castle in Sonerset, originally identified with Camelot by Leland. L.Alcock sifts history from myth to create a convincing picture of life between the fourth and seventh centuries, when Celtic Britain was abandoned by the legions to the Picts, Scots and Anglo-Saxons.
Thirteen-year-old Cassie Palmer, the seventh child of a seventh child, has inherited the gift of second sight. Unsure whether or not she even believes in ghosts, Cassie heads to the cemetery to test her ability to communicate with the Other World. She starts with the departed spirit of a harmless child: CHARLOTTE EMMA ELIZABETH WEBB, BORN 1840 DIED 1847. But when a mysterious man appears, Cassie finds a new companion. Is he a gravedigger? A bum? Or did Cassie's inexperience cause her to bring back Charlotte's frightening neighbor: DEVERILL 1720 - 1762?
The best ghost stories don't rely on shrieks and spooks:иthey show us ordinary people in ordinary situatons... when the extraordinary happens. Whether a haunted castle or a hot London summer time, we should expect the unexpected. Herself an expert in the art of chilling, Susan Hill introduced ten classics of the genre.
