Review
From classic ghost stories by Mary Shelley, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Brothers Grimm, to real, unexplained curses, this chunky square book will thrill, chill, and charm every reader. Inspired by their passion for Harry Potter and all things fantastical, editors Lena Tabori and Natasha Tabori Fried have selected an outstanding collection of deliciously bone-chilling stories, poems, spells, magic tricks, curses, superstitions, legends, and lore. There are even recipes for such delicacies as Graveyard Brownies, Spider Cake, and Eyeball Potion. Learn about the spooky curse of James Dean's sports car--and think twice before going to visit the monument at the intersection where the film star met his death. Discover the true meaning behind All Hallows' Eve. And quote Edgar Allan Poe's raven as he laments, "Nevermore."
With 200 line drawings and more than 100 eclectic, full-color illustrations from the early 20th century, this handsome volume in the Little Big Book series is a fascinating celebration of magic, fantasy, and the sinister yet appealing world of ghosts and other unknowns. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
