Flying back home one night for Christmas in his single-seater fighter-plane, a pilot suddenly finds himself struggling for his life: lost in impenetrable fog, without working instruments or radio, how can he find his way to safety? Another plane, of a strangely old-fashioned design, appears out of the mist on his wing to guide him. But is his rescuer really all he seems? This novella's approachable length and lavish, atmospheric illustrations make it more than suitable for almost any age-group. A haunting story with a proper twist in the tail. Brilliant. ( )

A short (55 page) Novella, illustrated really well by Chris Foss. It is a very good Christmas ghost story which I read every year with great enjoyment. Highly recomended. ( )
