There's nothing that Fred likes better than to stroll around the local graveyard. For Fred isn't your normal type of kid-he just loves all things ghoulish and ghosty, even if it means getting grief from Barry the Bully at school. But one day while mooching around the cemetery he suddenly slipsdown a hole and enters a whole different world-the world of ghosts! To be accepted, he must pretend to be dead (of course) and he finds himself taking the entrance exams to Ghost School. Fred succeeds and has a whale of a time, for he can now practise his spooking as much as he likes, and he meetslots of hilarious characters. When his cover is finally blown and he returns to his own world, his new friends are very useful for giving old Barry the creeps . . .

Inspired by Wordsworth's concern for human relationship with nature in the context of spiritual speculations, this collection of poems examines the threads of every day human living woven to the larger sublime mystery joining all of life to this beautiful planet. At their heart, the poems point to the importance of an awareness of moment by moment passages.
