The Green Dwarf

Celebrate Halloween with a Brontë (sort of) ghost story. Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia story The Green Dwarf (1833) contains an episode where the emperor Napoleon encounters an spectre (not surprisingly renamed in anthologies, Napoleon and the Sceptre). Not really very spooky but very nice to read considering that Charlotte was 17 years old when she wrote it.
