Product Description
Product Description
Mr McFadden was a grumpy man, and at first he frightened Selina. He shouted when her pony, Haggis, charged into the middle of his turnip field, but that was really the beginning of everything. It was an unlikely friendship, but it made all the difference to both of them.

I love this book! I first read it when i was about 13 years old. At that time i remember it gave me such vivid pictures of the few days build up to Halloween in a small Scottish village, how the darkness drew in early on those cold October evenings, the mist swirled around the hills and the anticipation of the witching hour grew closer. It is a very simple story, but the way it is written just fed my imagination for Halloween, so much so that 20 years later, i tracked the book down & have purchased it again to read! This book will never date! A must for any young reader who loves Halloween.

Great read aloud! My six, ten and 12 year old loved it!
14 Jan 2010
Format:Hardcover
This is a GREAT Halloween read! I have a Rumer Godden collection and picked up this book as I enjoy "seasonal" books to read to my children at the appropriate times. I had to employ a bit of a Scottish accent to read this, as the story takes place in Scotland and some of the wording reflects this. My children just loved it. It's a particularly lovely story for girls, although my sons really liked it as well. My daughter, as I picked her up from school, asked me to start reading it again as soon as we got home, as she hadn't been able to think of anything else. I loaned it to a friend who read it to her three daughters, and they loved it. My friend said she thought it might be her new favorite book. She then asked to loan it to one of HER friends, whose children loved it as well.
Again, it's a great book to read to your kids at Halloween time, and I'm sure it will become an annual tradition with us. There is such an excellent moral to the story, without being preachy. It's a great book on many levels. Rumer Godden had a gift. I highly recommend it!
