About this ebook
Guided by tween "ghostorian" Virgil, readers will discover fascinating facts about calamitous events throughout history as they explore castles, palaces and dungeons and those infamous figures associated with each. For instance, did you know that many castles were made out of wood painted to look like stone? Or that wealthy prisoners in the Tower of London could keep servants? The book is chock-full of details that kids will find intriguing--dungeon life for prisoners, methods of turture, and even the most popular methods of poisoning enemies. So join Virgil and the other ghostly inhabitants for an historical adventure on the dark side.

Virgil Dante here. I think that this book is tops. If you like ghosts and you like history, you'll love this. It is the first of my series that I am creating to get the word out about history from the ghost's point of view. Take a look. See if you like it. ~Virgil
