Thirty hair-raising tales by some of the world's most famous authors have been skillfully retold here especially for young readers. Includes such famous chillers as the Brothers Grimm's "The Robber Bridegroom", "The Golem", and tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Washington Irving.

A retelling of the traditional tale from the French West Indies in which two friends, Clement and Hippolyte, encounter love, zombies, and danger on the island of Martinique.

A reworking of Armenian folktales in which a lazy prince learns to read, write, and weave to win his love only to have these very talents later save him from a three-headed monster.
