Publisher's Summary

Under the October moon, New Englanders gather at church suppers, harvest festivals, and apple pressings. As the day's light wanes, they listen to stories and prepare themselves for the mysteries of winter. The four original stories on this highly praised recording were inspired by an October moon in New England. They are told by a seasoned storyteller and enhanced by sound effects and haunting intsrumental music.

Beloved for over 20 years!

I first borrowed this as a cassette from our local library in the early nineties as a little kid, and the tails in this book enthralled me. Over two decades later, I woke up one morning and thought of The Purple Bishop, logged onto Audible and here was the book. The tails are as wonderful as ever. The stories are clean so kids can enjoy them, and should be entertaining for both kids and adults. The author also does a spectacular job of narrating. I couldn't possibly recommend this audiobook enough!

Stories for Autumn

My son and I really enjoy this particular audio book. We are both big fans of Halloween and the entire autumnal season and this has become a perinnial favorite. The writing is magical and the narration is crisp and transporting. Not to scary for younger children, yet not to "babyish" for the older ones. This is perfect for keeping the children occupied in the car while running errends.
