(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gris Grimly. On Halloween night, a group of boys embarks on a journey to find their missing friend. Led by the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud, the boys travel through time to visit an Egyptian tomb, Notre Dame Cathedral, Mexican catacombs, and other locations that explain the origins of Halloween. Grimly's illustrations for this edition--black-and-white halftones and three color plates--are an appropriate match for the haunting and evocative prose (which some may find florid and sentimental).
