(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lenny Wooden. These spooky, well-researched retellings include an affecting Hans Christian Andersen adaptation, a familiar urban legend about a young motorist and the man hiding in her backseat, and a generous sampling of stories derived from world cultures. The brief tales are scary enough to satisfy anyone attending a slumber party or sitting around a campfire; the source notes at the end of the volume add an educational element.
