Books with title The Napping House

The old, abandoned house at the end of Grace's street is a local legend. All the neighbors say it's haunted, but every Halloween someone leaves candy on the front porch. Grace and her friends decide to investigate, hoping to find out once and for all if someone―or something―really is haunting the place. But what if there is more to the house than there seems?

In 1979, a terrible crime was committed which shocked the small, seaside town of Audlington-on-sea. In 2012, Trevor Wardleby returns to Audlington - having been acquitted of murder and released from prison - to sell up and plan his retirement. No one stands in Trevor's way, but, then again, he's yet to meet young Isla Blandford...Life has always been pretty ordinary for Isla and her best friend, Max, but when she stumbles across a mysterious old house hidden away in the woods, things soon begin to change. Little does she realise that within those four walls lies the truth behind that fateful night over thirty years ago, and she soon finds herself caught up in a tale of double-crossing, revenge and murder. But, as Isla begins to realise, what she sees and what other people see are two very different things.I really hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Writing a book is something that I have always wanted to do and I would really appreciate any constructive thoughts/comments that may help me in the future. Please leave me a review and tell me what you think!Best wishes, George.

Excerpt from The HouseYou come upon an iron gateway between two square granite columns; the gate freshly painted and in three sections, those on either side bolted to the ground, permitting the use of only that in the centre. The three are opened only on grand oc casions, for carriages and limousines. In old times they were opened for hay waggons. In old times, for that matter, you had only to push a little and you could go in by any gate you pleased, the bolts being out of commission. All sorts of unbidden folk used to come into the court, and to me their intru sions were highly disagreeable. Children are strongly conservative in their sense of proprietorship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
