The Wedding Ghost pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Leon Garfield was born in Brighton in 1921. His brief art studies were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II, when he joined the army. After the war he worked as a hospital laboratory technician until in the 1960s his literary success enabled him to devote himself completely to writing. He lived with his wife, the children's writer, Vivien Alcock, in Highgate, North London, which has featured in many of his novels.
He is the author of a large number of highly acclaimed novels, some of which have been serialised for television, including Devil-in-the-Fog, and Jack Holborn. Black Jack was made into a full-length feature film, and was joint winner of the International Jury Award at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. The famous film director, John Huston, made his last screen appearance in 1987 in the film of Mr Corbett's Ghost.
He was working on a four-hour dramatisation of The Odyssey for BBC Radio when he died on 2nd June 1996.
Jack is marrying Jill, despite all the hectic preparations.A wedding present is addressed just to Jacka map, which leads him to"The-Bird-in-Hand" public house. There he meets an old man and his grandson who take him on a ghostly vessel to "journey's end" beyond the fog. He's left in a dark and damp place, full of grinning skeletons. Then he enters a dust-laden mansion and realizes that he has found a "Sleeping Beauty" to whom he must give the kiss of life. This is a charming tale of haunt and humor. But it is convoluted; the esoteric entanglements of the storyline will disaffect most readers. Jack's having two brides will require explanations from parents, as will Keeping's black-and-white illustrations. They are good abstractions of the unreal and daunting features of Jack's task, but harsh.
