From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named 'the outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th century' by Books For Keeps

____________________

AD 113

The young boy Pertinax helps his grandmother prepare a feast in Pliny's household. As all the workers are busy in the kitchen, the young boy keeps Pliny company in the garden. He is told a story by the great Pliny himself. The tale is of a terrifying ghost that haunted a garden. But there's no truth in ghost stories ... or is there?



A tale based on a key moment in Roman history, full of Terry Deary's dark humour and dry wit.
