Blue ladies, eerie wailers, bloodcurdling shreikers and things that go bump in the night were just things that Angela had heard about from Miss Pindrop, that is, until she met Tom-Phan-Tom Spectre the fourth. The author also wrote "The Witch's Big Toe" and "The Witch's Funnybone".

Gathered here are gems galore, which, while revealing much as to the Chinese national psyche, highlight particular traits and characteristics that span the globe.

Don't Toss Granny in the Begonias

GILLY, Marie-Helene Claudel

Continuing the popular series of proverbs from around the world, each paired with an English equivalent, Don’t Toss Granny in the Begonias sheds an amusing and often intriguing light on the rivalry between the French and the English: an odd couple who, from time immemorial, like to dislike – or is it dislike liking? – each other.

Fortunately, old enemies make the best friends, and Don’t Toss Granny in the Begonias highlights the many similarities between the cultures. Witness ‘Porter l’eau à la rivière’ and ‘To carry coals to Newcastle’, or ‘Quand le chat n’est pas là, les souris dansent’ – dancing mice as opposed to their English rat counterparts, who play in the cat’s absence.
