For Victorian Ghost Children

A collection of slightly dark, spooky, or existential books for children whose imaginary friend just might have been a ghost, who fantasized about being an orphan, or who would have appreciated the Well for Sensitive Boys to gaze into. A mix of titles from my millennial childhood with some newer additions.
