This is how the story begins. On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town. In the dark dark town there was a dark dark street . . . Janet and Allan's frightfully funny Hallowe'en classic tells the story of three skeletons - a big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton - who venture out of their cellar one night to find someone to scare, only to find that everyone is in bed. Who will they scare now?! This is a new edition with an accompanying CD, featuring the story read by acclaimed comic actor Stephen Mangan.This is how the story begins.
