Making Ends Meet for All Souls

Somewhat hastily, to get this book finished in time for Halloween and All Saints / Souls Day I have assembled these poems, stories and essays to fit the occasion. One section is devoted to the appearances of the word "be" in Hamlet in a comparison that throws light on that most famous quotation of all: "To be or not to be." Another section treats one of history''s most haunting mysteries, the disappearance of thechildren of Hamelin in the Middle Ages.
