- CCBC (Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices, 1990)
Twenty-five stories of supernatural beings from cultures around the world are retold in appropriately eerie tones by an expert storyteller. Hamilton's fine introduction and careful notes about each story intellectually link these diverse reflections of "an ancient need in humans to make order out of disorder and to control their environment." Fifty-five haunting full-color paintings provide the perfect complement to the tales.
