About the book

Conceptually sparked by the effect changing technology has upon historic and contemporary perceptions of ghosts, Ghosts is more than a collection of unique, whimsical accessories and garments for the autumn season.

Months of research have gone into writing essays which explore how different cultures, historically and contemporarily, view the “physical” apparition of a ghost.  This research inspired a collection of 11 patterns, ranging from scarves, mittens and hats, to a pullover, cloak and skirt.

The essays (though stemming in the main from scholarly journals and books) are written in an informative, easy-to-read manner.
