Weeds Kill the Wild Flowers

This is a delightful little tale about a ghost in a small village in the mountains of Jamaica, who wants to lend the children a helping hand, and can think of no better way to do it than to appear to them in the guise of a friend or neighbour, and impart the knowledge that they need at any particular time. We find, for instance, that the youngsters suddenly have a thorough knowledge of hurricane wind speeds and ocean currents, and along the way we are given a glimpse of village life and interactions between people.
