Kurzbeschreibung
When Tom is sent to his aunt's house for the summer he resigns himself to weeks of boredom. Lying awake one night he listens to the grandfather clock in the hall strike every hour. Eleven . . .

And there are children in the garden too - are they ghosts? Or is it Tom who is really the ghost . . .
