Loved this utterly bonkers medieval short story translated from the original Latin. A tailor called Snowball has a few unfortunate ghostly encounters, including one with a green glowing dog! Jones really brings the story to life with some great descriptions.
Nicely illustrated and with some good historical background as well as the original Latin story with notes that Dan Jones has added showing the way that he translated it. Would make a nice Christmas present for someone who likes ghost stories and the medieval period.
