It's finally here! It's the eve of Samhain - the night when the Otherworld draws closer and the spirits roam abroad. You can meet a whole host of Otherworld-dwellers in Tales for the Brave, and hear their stories for yourself!

[Scholastic UK @scholasticuk]

Celebrate Samhain with Tales for the Brave, a stunningly spooky collection of Celtic tales for children.

With beautiful illustrations, this is a timeless gift to be enjoyed again and again.
