Description: London Andre Deutsch, 1985. Hardback small quarto, dustjacket, good plus condition (in good plus dustjacket), full-page colour drawings, endpapers little foxed, minor edgewear jacket (light foxing reverse side), boards faintly faded. Unnum 28 pp. Children's fantasy picture story. A poem by Paul Coltman is about a little girl, now a granny, who turned tail and ran when she saw Tog's ghost in the woods. The illustrator worked for over two years on a series of illustrations to create visual images as powerful as the words. Each detailed picture has a border that interprets the fear in terms of images. The book would suit older readers as it has a haunting quality that remains long after the last page has been read.
