Jeffrey, the ghost
that has haunted Kathryn Tucker Wyndham's house for more than 40 years, is
back! This time, he helped Mrs. Wyndham choose 13 of the best
ghost stories from her highly successful Jeffrey series of books
that began in 1969. Hundreds of thousands of these books have
been sold. Jeffrey's Favorite includes mysterious and
supernatural doings from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi,
with cameos from many of these states' famous figures and historic places.
praise for Jeffrey's Favorite 13 Ghost Stories:
Kathryn Windham is a perfectly working 'Time Machine.' All you have to
do is get inside one of her magical stories and you can ride back through
lost decades of memory to those things so wonderfully ordinary that they
define us all. Whether it be a visit with a member of her own family or a
'ghost story' of the strange and inexplicable, we are caught in the clear
reality of her memory and land in past times and places where we can still
meet ourselves today. A genius of quiet reflection.
-- Donald Davis, storyteller and author of Mama Learns to Drive, and
Other Stories
She is kind of the embodiment of the region. And not just the days gone
by -- she says something we can all relate to today.
-- Roger Duvall, Alabama Public Radio
