Fascinating old treatise on strategy. I enjoyed this more than the Art of War.

A fascinating little collection of stories bourne out of Dickens letting what was alleged to be a haunted house and having his friends come stay in it with him. He proposed that they all write a story while in the house, and this little book was the result. I enjoyed Adelaide Anne Procters long poem the best. This would be a great read for anyone looking for a halloween spirit.

I was more interested in the setting that I was the story. I felt there were gaps and leaps here and there in the "way of the warrior" thread, but overall, a nice historical mystery. I might continue the series, though not immediately.
