Product Description
Traditional tales and stories, whether told by grandmas and elders or retold by professional storytellers, are well-loved by almost all audiences round the world. The ?spooky? among these, frequently highlighted at yearly celebrations like Halloween in America are scary, hair-raising and induce shivers and shrieks. Children have fun reading, listening to or watching movies and videos of them during such celebrations. There is a wealth of these in Oriental and Far Eastern folktales as much as those in other parts of the world. Spooky characters mixed with the supernatural and the enchanted add so much spice and life and give an interesting and charming twist to the familiar ghosts, trolls, ogres, witches and vampire tales that they need special mention. An attempt is made in this collection to highlight such stories in categories randomly selected and retold to include as many Asian countries as possible.
