The Well of Wishes

The cozy villages of provincial England in the tales of E.F. Benson hold their eerie secrets. Here, the ghosts of former owners of estates do not want to part with their possessions, and the spirits of deceased husbands continue to torment their wives even from beyond the grave. Here, an ancient well grants the wishes of those who ask, while in the nearby forest lurks an ancient evil that dreams of destroying the idyllic rural pastoral. Within the pages of this collection, the reader will find mystical stories about witchcraft and superstitions, encounters with the unknown and the supernatural. E.F. Benson skillfully manages to hold the reader's attention and surprise with an unexpected ending.
