The Oxford Bookworms Library: Oxford Bookworms 4. The Unquiet Grave: Stage 4 - Tapa blanda

If you find a locked room in a lonely inn, don't try to open it, even on a bright sunny day. If you find a strange whistle hidden among the stones of an old church, don't blow it. If a mysterious man gives you a piece of paper with strange writing on it, give it back to him at once. And if you call a dead man from his grave, don't expect to sleep peacefully ever again. Read these five ghost stories by daylight, and make sure your door is locked.

M. R. James (1862-1936) was born in Kent, and became the provost of King's College, Cambridge, and later of Eton School. He is famous for his ghost stories, which have been popular since the day they were first written.
