A.M. Burridge - Smee
In the second Christmas Ghost story we enjoy a game of 'Smee'. Twelve friends playing a hide-and-seek type game inside a huge, dark house, and then suddenly – there is this mysterious thirteenth player that hides with them!
Alfred McLelland Burrage (1889–1956) was a British writer. He was noted in his time as an author of fiction for boys which he published under the pseudonym Frank Lelland, including a popular series called "Tufty". After his death, however, Burrage became best known for his ghost stories.
'Smee' takes place one Christmas and is about a game with more than an opportunity for another player. A hide and seek, where the hidden is often so for a reason.
