Review

I am particularly attached to this story. When I was about 9, I tried to sign it out of our local public library, but the Librarian felt that it was "too old" for me. I went home and told my mother what she had said, and Mum marched right down there and read that lady the riot act! The upshot was that, from that day forth, I was allowed to read anything I wanted from the library.<br><br>In any case, I love the book! Not only is it a great comment on the Industrial Revolution (rather radical, at the time), and a morality play about the evils of greed; it's also a cracking good ghost story!
