About this Item
Description:
SIGNED ON TITLE PAGE (in yr of publication) WITH 5" DRAWING OF BANSHEE BY CALDECOTT MEDALIST EMILY MCCULLY. When a little red-headed boy named Terry wakes up in the night to a horrible screeching, he thinks a BANSHEE has come! Wonderful scary picturebook- perfect for Halloween or any time! BANSHEE: "The ghost figure of a woman who wails or "keens" outside a house where there may be a death; and Irish superstition.". Seller Inventory # 025412
Synopsis:
“SCREE . . . SCREE . . .”
Terry is half asleep when he hears the wailing, rising and falling like the waves of the sea. He wishes it were a dream, but he knows it isn’t. It isn’t an owl screeching, either. Or the Flannerys’ old cat. Could it be the Banshee—the ghostly figure of Irish legend who wails outside a house when death is near?
Why would she come here?
In spite of his fears, Terry goes out to confront her. Is it really the Banshee, or . . . something else?
