This title contains Irish folk tales with a ghastly ghostly twist! It features two tales written in Martin Waddell's inimitable lyrical style. Each story is packed with atmosphere and a twist of gentle humour. From death doing a deal with the living just to get a little bit of peace and quiet, children will be drawn on irresistibly by these original stories. It is illustrated throughout with James Mayhew's atmospheric line drawings.
