Description

Widow Zilla Trott is in her kitchen making a cup of camomile tea for herself and her cat when the ghost of Hiram Jellyby suddenly appears. He was murdered some years ago, and he wants Zilla to find his bones and bury them decently so he can rest in peace. Hiram also wants her to look for a wooden box of gold that he buried. When Zilla and her friends begin digging, they uncover more than bones and gold.
