Georgie - a shy and gentle little ghost whose other adventures can be found in books like Georgie, Georgie and the Robbers, and Georgie to the Rescue - here finds himself being urged by his friends, Herman the cat and Miss Oliver the owl, as well as by the many mice who share his attic, to enter
Georgie's Halloween is a sweet little story, one that is sure to appeal to younger children who prefer their ghost stories mild. The accompanying illustrations - in black and white, with orange accents - have all the old-fashioned charm I have come to expect from Robert Bright's work, and the three main characters (Georgie, Herman and Miss Oliver) are as endearing as ever. I was interested to see that all the local children knew Georgie by name in this one, and wondered how on earth that came to be, when Georgie is always portrayed as being so bashful and retiring. But in any case, this was another cute Georgie story, one particularly suited for reading at Halloween time!
