Description
Casimir had never frightened anyone in his life. He tried, every Halloween, to float out from behind the curtains with a convincing moan, but it always came out as a giggle. So one year he gave up on scaring altogether and went to the pumpkin patch instead. He chose the roundest, brightest pumpkin he could find and carried it all the way home through the village, glowing with pride, while the children waved and the dogs wagged their tails at him.
This box shows a ghost holding a pumpkin, a sweet, upright figure with plenty of friendly charm. Its tall, slim form suits narrow shelves and small spaces beautifully. Think of it for a child who is a little nervous of Halloween, for a teacher’s desk in October, or for a collector of whimsical ghost pieces. Pop it on a windowsill to greet trick-or-treaters, or beside a stack of children’s books on a nursery shelf.

A reassuring Halloween friend for the little one who prefers their ghosts sweet and smiling rather than spooky. It is also a fine present for grown-ups who never outgrew their soft spot for friendly ghosts.
