Full of adventure, humor, and old-fashioned charm, this book will make no child afraid of ghosts again. A classic story from the author of the unforgettable Little Witch.

– Are you trying to tell me that ghosts were involved here?
“What if that were the case?” Mr. Holzinger asked.
– Ridiculous, Holzinger! Absolutely ridiculous! I don't believe in ghosts!
Until now, the Ghost had been quietly listening to the conversation in his office. But now his peace was over. The mayor of Pukhachev doesn't believe in ghosts?! We'll see!

The Little Ghost of the Owl Castle, as befits a ghost, wakes up every day at midnight and frightens people, ominously jingling his keychain. But he's actually very likable – he's friends with an eagle owl, plays tricks on generals and officials… He's seen a lot, supposedly even contributing to the terrible defeat of Swedish invaders in his hometown of Puchaczowo. He couldn't see – though he desperately wanted to – what his town looked like during the day. One day, he suddenly woke up at high noon. And that's when it all began!
