A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"A fast-moving, eerie...tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for their friend and the meaning of Halloween. After witnessing a funeral procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre Dame, they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico, where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's. Enhanced by appropriately haunting black-and-white drawings."--Booklist

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Ray Bradbury examines Hallowe'en myths as only he can, through the eyes of nine children and their magical mentor - Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud. They journey across the world and through time, to Egypt, Druid's Britain, notre Dame and mexico, to find the beginning of all Hallowe'ens.
In a world before J.K. Rowling and Philip Pullman, Ray Bradbury entranced children and adults alike with this tale of wonder - and many others.
