Ghosts of Rowan Oak: William Faulkner's Ghost Stories for Children

Though the world knew William Faulkner as a Nobel prize-winning author, the children of Rowan Oak called him Pappy and knew him as the teller of tales that were tragic, entertaining and sometimes terrifying. In the 1940s at his home, Rowan Oak, in Oxford, Mississippi, Faulkner told ghost stories to the children in his family, one of whom, his niece and ward, Dean Faulkner Wells, has recounted three of them: the haunting and heartbreaking story of Judith, the chilling tale of the Werewolf, and the macabre story of the Hound.
