Summary

Ghost stories from America's "Heart of Dixie" have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery!  Welcome to the spooky state of Alabama!   Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.   Did you know that every February, a sunken ship rises again on the Tombigbee River? Or that the man peeking out of the Pickens County Courthouse window was wrongfully imprisoned there…150 years ago? Can you believe the sounds of a Civil War horse still echo on the porch of an old house in Suggsville?     Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Alabama and have you sleeping with the light on!

    "Basil the Child Dreams" shows twenty-two images of the possible dispensation. The author would not advise to treat Basil the Child and his considerations condescendingly. On the other hand, the author would suggest the readers taking Basil the Child very seriously, and, most probably, choosing the time, finding a suitable picturesque location, and considering the possible dispensation on their own. Illustrations by Shasi Martynova. Translated by Max Nemtsov.
