Thanks for "visiting" my blog earlier today. :)
My father's favorite scary story to tell me! Wonderful memories of this one. And marvelous illustration!!
I always love this story this time of the year! As a child it was the least frightening and yet the most exciting of the stories told during this season. Unless you want to count Casper the Friendly Ghost. His antics always made him even more lovable and then we could share this fun as family, you know popcorn, and sodas in front of the TV. Thank you.
