A bunch of London children are packed up and shipped off to a huge house in the country for safekeeping during World War II. And once there, they find something rather unexpected.
Sounds a little like the beginning of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, doesn't it? Except there's no magical wardrobe ready to spirit curious kiddos off to a nifty land named Narnia in this tale—just a creepy old cellar, a supposedly locked nursery and lots of disturbing playthings. There's no lion, either. But a witch? Oh, yes. There's a witch.
No white witch, this one, but a mysterious, ghoulish figure who skulks through the house dressed all in black. She died in the house some time ago, but her sadness and hate make her linger. And she does love little children—to death. She'd like nothing more than have this new busload of little ones stay with her ... forever.
