From "Of Course I Believe in Ghosts" by Red Skelton:
"DOESN'T EVERYBODY?
Sometimes, just before I go on stage, the ghost of the greatest pantomimist of all whispers in my ear. His name was Grimaldi and even though he lived a couple of centuries ago, he tells me funny things to try and do."

From the "Introductory" page: "In the hills of life there are two trails. One lies along the higher sunlit fields where whose who journey see afar, and the light lingers even when the sun is down; and one leads to the lower ground, where those who travel, as they go, look always over their shoulders with eyes of dread, and gloomy shadows gather long before the day is done.
This, my story, is the story of a man who took the trail that leads to the lower ground, and of a woman, and how she found her way to the higher sunlit fields.

According to a review I found by JanP, "This book chronicles the lives of four chidren who were lost during disasters at sea and land and how they grew up to be reconciled to their families. The main character Hazel is raised by a lighthouse keeper but is educated and refined. An exciting read."Fair condition. It appears that book originally had a light green cover with red title and design, plus a paper image of a woman pasted onto the front. There is much cover wear at edges, spine, and corners, and soiling. The closed book page edges have some marks. The front cover is partially loose at the bottom. There are a few pages at the back of "Good Fiction Worth Reading". There is a closed tear on the title page and a few pages have a stain at the edge. Otherwise text is clean and pages are complete. A good reading copy. 256 pages.
