He climbs aboard to explore--and finds himself trapped when a surge snaps the mooring line and his punt floats away. Sleep eludes him, and soon he discovers that he's not the only one trapped on the derelict ship.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for Christmas Ghost Stories</strong></p> <p>"[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth ...
