Introduction
The house was dark and quiet.
But one hour later, there was a sudden noise in the night. Mr Brown sat up in bed. He was cold and afraid. 'What was that noise?' he wondered.
Mr Brown (in 'The Doll') has a very quiet and boring life. But everything changes when he buys a doll. He hears voices. Things move and break. What is happening — and can he stop it?
The stories in this book are all different. Some are sad and some are happy. But they are all very exciting. Something strange happens to the people in each story. But life is strange sometimes.

And in 'Journey's End', an inteUigent young man without a job learns something about his future. Will it change his life?
