[Penguin Readers Level 3]Some people do not really die and things are not always what they seem. In these six mysterious stories, strange things happen.
Thomas Hood was een Engelse dichter en auteur, gevierd om zijn onderscheidende mix van humor en sociaal commentaar. Zijn geschriften wierpen vaak licht op de harde realiteit waarmee de arbeidersklasse werd geconfronteerd, en boden aangrijpende inzichten in hun strijd. Hood zette zijn literaire talenten meesterlijk in om serieuze thema's zowel met geestigheid als met diepe empathie te benaderen. Zijn werk resoneert nog steeds vanwege zijn tijdloze menselijkheid en vakkundige vakmanschap.
