(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leonid Gore. When the laird offers a sack of gold to anyone who would sew him a pair of trousers by the light of the full moon in a haunted cemetery, Lucy Dove accepts the challenge, hoping thereby to gain a comfortable retirement. The story's climax is a thriller, indicating how skillfully the teller has polished her story to a mirror-like reflection of her sources. Gore's illustrations are as bewitching as they are haunting.
