This book is about Roman tales, as its title suggests. One of the tales is about a haunted house. At the beginning there is something that is not related to the story but I'll tell you anyway. Warning – it might make you throw up so bring a bucket.
An emperor ate so much and loved it so much until he was full and then guess what he did? He got a feather and tickled his throat until he threw up until he could eat again. People got fed up of his eating. Would you like to know what happened? It's not too bad because I am telling you anyway. They threw him off a cliff and he fell down into the ocean where lots of fish fed on him and I think those fish were fed for generations. Of course it probably didn't happen but it might have happened. Do you think it happened?
This was an amazing book and I hope that more of them are created but from different times. The writer did create good characters. The plot was amazing. I recommend you read this book.
But if you have a weak stomach, when you reach the bit about the haunted house, bring a bucket.
