Phantoms aren't always scary. Bertie Boggin's ghost is as warm and amiable as any you're likely to meet. Bertie's best friend is a full family member and looks forward to the arrival of their new baby almost as much as Bertie himself. Bertie and ghost share most things, until the baby arrives, that is, and in the flurry of visitors our family spectre feels ignored and neglected, and threatens to go off in an enormously human huff. Mum comes to the rescue and baby Florence charms him back to the dubious comforts of his coal-shed home. All ends happily and very humorously.
