While the animal parents are busy baking

Geleitet vom Gesang der Vögel schlafen die Eulen ein die neugierigen Kleinen kommen aus ihren Verstecken

chestnuts and nuts

ladders to heaven appear

A delicately ringing bell is hidden in its belly

Schaurige Nächte - Taschenbuchausgabe Filz While the animal parents areSpooky stories for the winter Long, cold winter nights: time to light the fireplace, time for ghost stories. Whether in the wild moors of Yorkshire, on the snowy grounds of a haunted house or at the busy London Christmas market these stories, which tell of ghosts of days gone by, send the most delicious shivers down the readers' spines. As wonderfully British as a Yorkshire pudding, as atmospheric and spooky as 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens
