The Halloween Tree: Library Edition

Product Description On a Halloween night, eight boys are led on an incredible journey into the past by the mysterious ''spirit'' Moundshroud. Riding a dark autumn wind from ancient Egypt to the land of the Celtic druids, from Mexico to a cathedral in Paris, they will witness the haunting beginnings of the holiday called Halloween. Ray Bradbury's evocative prose and imagery will send shivers of delight--and spine-chilling terror--through listeners young and old, long after the last candle has died in your jack-o'-lantern.
