The Ghost Catcher by Josephine Poole is a delightful and slightly spooky children's story that follows the adventures of a young boy named Tom, who has a rather unusual and important job. Tom is the "ghost catcher" of his village, tasked with capturing the mischievous and playful ghosts that often cause trouble. These ghosts aren’t particularly frightening; instead, they are playful and curious, popping in and out of the village, creating a bit of havoc and mischief.
