I'm reading some books that take a bit of time at the moment so I am using an old favorite today ... one, to my surprise, I've not yet used. The Halloween Tree, by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury is a favorite author, after all! I don't have a copy on my shelf so will admit I went online for a synopsis to remind me of some of the details. What I do remember is Bradbury's beautiful writing style! It's Halloween so there are trick-or-treaters, eight to be exact. They are looking for a missing friend. It's Bradbury so you know it will not be a normal outing. A mysterious guide takes them on a journey through time and space including ancient Egypt, Notra Dame for the gargoyles, and Mexico for the Day of the Dead. Along the way you learn about the history of Halloween, why costumes, skeletons and so on. A grand read by a grand master.
