Kate Culhane

Michael Hague has crafted some of his most haunting paintings to date in this splendid retelling of a spellbinding tale from Irish folklore. It all begins one fateful evening when young Kate steps on a freshly dug grave. She is powerless to refuse when an unearthly voice commands her to dig up his coffin...but the worst is yet to come. How can Kate free herself from the evil spirit and save the life of the one she loves? One of America's most beloved painters of fantasy presents a rousing ghost story for older picture book readers, perfect for campfires, sleepovers, and Halloween storytelling.

Michael Hague has illustrated more than twenty children's classics, including lavish editions of A Wind in the Willows Christmas , The Wizard of Ox , and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . He lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
