Ghostly Tales

Some fourteen years old may be daunted at the prospect of entering a national, open writing competition however this did not deter B Block pupil, Lydia Fitzsimons (F), from entering the 2010 Daily Telegraph Ghost Story competition.

Entrants were challenged to write a haunting story in 2,000 words or fewer and the judging panel included the novelist Susan Hill, celebrated author of haunting tales, Andrew Franklin, Managing Director of Profile Books, and Lorna Bradbury, Deputy Literary Editor of The Daily Telegraph.

The judges were so surprised to receive many high quality entries from children, that they decided to publish the best three, and Lydia’s story Remembering Death is one of them.
