Christina by Daphne Castell

Miss Chaucer tells Dr. Richard that she is so depressed - in part due to the recent death of a friend - she have tried to shake it off but with no luck. Since Mary's death she has can't seem to take the same pleasure in writing, especially children stories. Also, before Mary died she had lost a lot of money - mostly to oversea investments. She has no family to turn to for hope or advise.

Mary would have helped her had she been well enough. To an extent, Mary was her family. She's is alone now. It is that fact that depresses and frightens her. Dr. Richard tells her that she has to get away. A fresh environment; a new locality; to get out of London; to find a new village somewhere and make new friends - find a new rythm for her life and then rethink her future. That is what she did and that is how she came to meet Mrs. Crozier, the housekeeper, and Christina, the ghost of a child who has come

back to the house where she once lived. But why?
