BILLY BUNTER'S CHRISTMAS PARTY

Billy Bunter was better known for cadging holiday invitations than for offering them himself and it came as a great surprise to various members of the Greyfriars Remove to receive a cordial invitation from Bunter's uncle Humphrey Carter to spend the Christmas holidays at his country mansion Tankerton Hall.After some misgivings six of Bunter's schoolmates accepted including the Famous Five and the Australian schoolboy Sampson Quincy Iffley Field known as Squiff though it was not immediately apparent that the offer had more than met the eye! Not only were some of Uncle Carter's remarks distinctly puzzling but before long there were queer noises and apparitions and talk of the old miser Sir Julius who had once lived at the Hall. Did his ghost haunt the ancient apartments and where was his fortune that had never been found? In addition why had Bunter omitted to mention that Tankerton Hall was actually a boarding house for paying guests?These were some of the questions which interested the Removites who spent Christmas with Bunter his sister Bessie Bunter and Uncle Carter. Another fun adventure for Bunter and the Famous Five.
