A Very Spooky Tail

“What was that?” whispered Alley.
“Did you hear those strange sounds,
like the screeching of owls or the baying of hounds.”
But it was just the wind moaning in the dark of the night,
it was spooky and scary and it gave them a fright.
They shivered and shook at the creaking of doors,
rain tapping on windows like skeleton claws....

Do these words sound vaguely familiar? Most parents will no doubt remember similar
spine-tingling moments from their childhood, when at night every shadow seemed to be a scary monster lurking in wait for unwary children, and the howling of the wind would echo the screeching of an owl. A time when even venturing downstairs after dark could, with the help of a child's imagination, suddenly turn into a scary adventure.

Meet Alley and her two little brothers, and join them on a spooky midnight escapade which they plan in their own home. With unexpected results! This strikingly illustrated book is written in a warm poetic style (with not a real ghost in sight) it's all in their imagination!
