From the Back Cover
Ghosts, witches, monsters and lively imaginations are all the ingredients you need for a spooky bedtime read.
A tiny little witch moves in next door; Grandpa's bedtime story leaves Marmaduke and his sisters feeling jumpy; a little Scottish ghost is just too cute to spook; the Dreambeast is causing havoc; and there's a mystery creature at Hilltop Hospital.
There is even more spooky fun with a magical, singing witch; a pirate with a ghost-bus; a seven-foot-tall, five-armed bogeyman; and a host of ghostly visitors in a very special shop!
Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this lively collection of creepy tales has all the ingredients you need to make bedtime spooky - and fun!
