Alfred Hitchcock presents nine short stories that are sure to make young readers shiver (while they get a good dose of some fine writing!). Includes “The Red-Headed League” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; “The Treasure in the Cave” by Mark Twain; “Jimmy Takes Vanishing Lessons” by Walter R. Brooks; “The Forgotton Island” by Elizabeth Coatsworth; “The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall”; and more. Accompanying the stories are the frightfully good two-color illustrations by Fred Banbery.
