«La gabbia d'ombra» is a book of ghost stories by Philippa Pearce, published by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore in paperback (174 pages, in Italian).
La gabbia d'ombra brings together ten ghost stories where the everyday turns supernatural: a gardener returns to the park he loved, a child gets trapped in a cage of shadows, and other characters experience inexplicable encounters. Despite the suspense, each story closes with an unexpectedly happy ending, like a fable for young readers.
La gabbia d'ombra belongs to the Junior +10 collection (number 8). Translation by Ilva Tron and illustrations by Marilyn Day. Original title: The Shadow-Cage, and Other Tales of the Supernatural.
The work is suitable for children and young readers from about ten years old who enjoy ghost stories with suspense and kind endings.
