The Woman in Black

When Arthur Kipps, a young up-and-coming solicitor, was sent up north to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, he imagined that a dreary, formal visit lay before him. Nothing prepared him for the terrible events he was about to witness at Eel Marsh House. The Woman in Black is his haunting testimony.

Christmas eve; a London particular; the journey north; the funeral of Mrs Drablow; across the causeway; the sound of a pony and trap; Mr Jerome is afraid; spider; in the nursery; whistle and I'll come to you; a packet of letters; the woman in black.
