When it comes to spooky stories, we often think of strange creatures living in the deep forests, unknown mysteries hidden in abandoned houses, dangers lingering in the darkness in the woods….

My early memories of spooky stories were all about ghosts. When I was a toddler, my father and my grandmother used to tell ghost stories, in the living room, after dinner time. Me and my brother and sister would hold our blankets, wide-eyed, listening to the stories, so quietly. Interestingly, ghosts in oriental culture are conceived in a much more serious way. We would worship spirits on the “ghost day” and avoid going out to catch anything unwanted on July 7, on the lunar calendar, the spirit day.

Spooky stories do not seem to be out of fashion at any time in history. When I am trying to find a tale that is scary, chidren friendly and classic, I am glad to find “Little Thumb” from Mother Goose Fairytale book.

The bad guy in the tale is mainly the Ogre. The hero? Little thumb, a brave and smart little boy. Let’s take a good look at this story!
