Ghosts of St. Augustine

Summary: A perfect complement to the historic ambience of this city
Review: After taking the wonderful nighttime walking "Ghost" tour of the nation's oldest city last year, I was disappointed to find that there was no written volume documenting these stories, despite the availability of many books of local historical flavor. Imagine my surprise and excitement when this new volume was published! A well written and FUN collection of stories, mostly of seemingly harmless or friendly entities, with only a smattering of evil or sinister happenings. The author's own review listed here is very unbiased and sincere, including the age range . Enjoyable for adults and all but the youngest children!

Summary: A great little book about a very special place.
Review: Anyone that has an interest in hauntings and historical places will really enjoy this book! Although I have read all sorts of "serious" books regarding St. Augustine nothing reflects the local flavor as well as this book. St. Augustine is a wonderful resource of people, places, and things to do. The book does a great job of emphasizing this point. Take a litte time to read this special book.

Summary: Ghosts of our Oldest City, St Augustine
Review: As a long-time resident of St. Augustine (recently relocated) I grew up hearing many of these stories from my friends and neighbors. Reading them in such well written prose was like talking at length to an old friend. Few of the 'serious' historical accounts of my hometown convey the feel of St. Augustine as well as this book. Nearly every shopkeeper in St. Augustine describes this as their 'best seller.' I highly recommend this book.

Summary: GHOSTS is a charming assembly of stories from St. Augustine.
Review: GHOSTS OF ST. AUGUSTINE is a collection of ghost stories from America's oldest city. The stories are all true or at least have a kernel of truth in them. They reflect the chaotic past of this fascinating city, and the ghosts, for the most part, are as gracious as the current living inhabitants. In passing along these stories, I have also included a liberal dose of St. Augustine's history which, I think, adds to the charm of the book. There is minimal violence and no profanity in the book, and I think it suitable for children of at least middle school age. It's an easy and fun read, and I would recommend it highly to anyone going to St. Augustine or wanting to know a little about this wonderful city

Summary: Excellent book
Review: I am completly satisfied with this book! It's so interesting. It goes along perfectly with the ghost tour that I went on in St. Augustine. It has stories of Flagler college which I am putting an application into. Nice job on this book!

Summary: Ghosts of our Oldest City, St Augustine
Review: Published in 1997, this is a great collection of ghost stories of our nation's oldest city. One gets the flavor of this city, the Spanish quarter, the lighthouse, Flagler College, among the unique buildings and places reported to be haunted. Anyone who has ever walked the historic district at night can attest to the strong feeling of history and it certainly can make one wonder if they are really alone. A great little book, and a nice start to the library of anyone who travels... usually regional collections of ghost stories are available in many localities, and they make a unique remembrance of a trip. After reading this, perhaps you will be willing to brave a night in room 3A at the St. Francis Inn!

Summary: Boo
Review: The only way to describe this book is - great! It is easy reading with many small unrelated ghost stories. I have found that my son and kids in his grade also enjoy the book. I really recommend this book, especially if you are planning a trip to St. Augustine.
