Description

This miniature ghost story about a courageous teeny tiny heroine has enchanted children for generations. With delightful good humor, the illustrations capture all its charm and tongue-in-cheek frightfulness. A 2-color interior was appropriate for this tale although the cover was rendered in 4-color for a more immediate impact on the audience.
