- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Homey, cozy book tells the story of a shy little ghost who lives in the attic of a little house in New England. His job is to creak the stairs and the parlor door at the right time to remind the couple who live there it's time to go to bed. When they fix the stairs and oil the door hinges, he goes elsewhere to look for a home.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In a quiet New England village, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker, a friendly little ghost named Georgie knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Every night, at the exact same time, he creaked the loose step on the staircase, and squeaked the parlor door, alerting the Whittakers to the fact that it was time to go to bed, Herman the cat that it was time to start his evening prowl, and Miss Oliver the owl that it was time to wake up. But when Mr. Whittaker nails down the loose step, and oils the hinges on the parlor door, Georgie's nightly duties become impossible, and he soon finds himself seeking a new home. Will he ever be able to return...?Originally published in 1944, this delightful little book is the first of thirteen titles featuring Georgie, the friendly little ghost, and would make a perfect selection for young children who like less frightening ghost-stories. The black and white illustrations have an old-fashioned charm that is difficult to resist, and the story itself has a satisfactorily happy ending. I did wonder, as I was reading this, whether Casper the Friendly Ghost - a cartoon character first created in the 1930s - were an influence, but there's room for more than one cozy spook in the world (says I)! I think I may revisit this character and his adventures this coming fall - after all, Georgie's Halloween is still to be read!
