Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Cobblestone House: A Ghost Story There was no path leading from the old cobblestone house to the road, but there was a well-trodden runway between the old home and the family burial ground. The front yard had become a thicket of lilac bushes and of sprouts from the tall old locust trees, defying entrance to all humankind. Wandering grapevines and woodbine climbed over the moss covered roof up to the chimneys at the gable ends, going even into the garret through broken windowpanes. This wild patch was naturally on its way back to forest. On the afternoon that Miss Katherine Springer stood in front of the Corvine homestead, looking for the gap in the high box-hedge, it was blossoming-time in May, and the old house nestled in the very heart of Springtime. But there was no sign of welcome about the familiar old place for her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
And now, after years of schooling and training, Aunt Faith and her children were all together at home in the old stone house by the lake-shore, to spend a summer of freedom away from books and rules. Hugh was to leave her in the autumn to enter upon business life with a cousin in New York city, and Sibyl had been invited to spend the winter in Washington with a distant relative; Grace was to enter boarding-school in December, and Tom, --well, no one knew exactly what was to be done with Tom, but that something must be done, and that speedily, every one was persuaded
