The Darker Side of Wight Peter J Murray 9781911487876

Darker Side of Wight is a collection of twelve spine chilling stories from the pen of Peter J Murray, set in his favourite location, the Isle of Wight; or as Peter would say, 'The Isle of Fright'! The island's diverse local history combined with myth and legend provide an ideal recipe for Peter's vivid imagination. In an age where it is becoming increasingly difficult to engage children in reading a book, Darker Side of Wight is guaranteed to arouse their curiosity and take them into a thrilling and adventurous world, something children need to experience more and more as an escape from the daily pressures of modern living.
