Synopsis

Once upon a time there was dark, dark moor. On the moor there was a dark, dark wood. In the wood there was a dark, dark house. Young listeners will be kept on the edge of their seats as the journey continues up dark stairways through hidden passages, around sharp corners and behind windblown curtains. A splendid choice for group story time.--School Library Journal. American Bookseller Pick-of-the Lists. Full-color illustrations.

"This stunning book -- theme and pictures both -- is based on a motif of great simplicity and power... a lovely end." --Observer
