Variety of stories centered around a Canadian college. "The Cat That Went to Trinity" was hilarious.

Your package arrived today; many thanks! I'm always glad to have more of these Penguin 60s books for releasing in geocaches, and this one's perfect for October's Spooky/Halloween release challenge. I was glad to be able to participate in the memorial release for your brother Scott.

This is a collection of humorous ghost-story takeoffs with a collegiate theme. I liked the introductory chapter on how he came to write the stories as well (if not better!) than the stories themselves; drily humorous and quite charming, with references to ghost-story writers he admired, and tidbits of background that helped set the scene.

The stories themselves appealed to me since I've read a lot of academic-setting books and stories; some of the hauntings here could indeed be frightening to a professor, such as the ghost who insisted on taking ALL possible exams over again until he'd passed them. There's a ghostly visit from George IV, and a tale about the Spectre of Sexism, and a very unusual tale about "The Cat That Went to Trinity". Interesting little book!

I dropped this book, bagged for protection, in the Rocking around the Westford House geocache in Westford MA; hope the finder enjoys it!
