Hi I am looking for a book which I read many years ago about a boy called Tim who lived in the Victorian era at a school. It starts off with 'when the moon peers in through the window' and talks about a girl going to an older part of her school and seeing a boy in a red jersey vanishing by a cupboard. Two teachers go to investigate after schoo and find a diary in a hidden cupboard where they almost get trapped. The diary is written by the Victorian headmaster about Tim and how he froze to death.

If anyone knows this book, can they tell me what it is please? Many thanks.

The story was by Mary Danby who wrote a series of ghost stories for children.

The one I can see is The Fifteenth Armada ghost book edited by Mary Danby ; illustrated by Josh Kirby. Publisher/year London: Armada, 1983.

I don't know who wrote the story you're looking for but I doubt whether it was Mary Danby.

I think it was her but I will try the book. Can adults read them as well as kids? Sorry to ask?
