These goofy items manage to be one-hundred percent startling, on a night walk that she has to finish but she is bravely determined to shoo them away. The impossibility of these items giving chase to the woman has a built-in terror but of course, readers know their worst won’t become too scary. Boots, a shirt, pants, and even a jack-o-lantern should not be floating after her. It is inanimate characters, as frightening in their aliveness as they are goofy in of themselves, that pop out to scare her. This story is about a walk extending to nightfall. She has a contented life but knows her woods can be spooky, so she hastens to avoid traversing them by night. At first, one is tempted to attest Megan’s tremendously attractive illustrations to this book’s spark but Linda’s storytelling thrills me just as much.Ī nature woman like me, gathers herbs on foot at a distance from home. I am elated to have discovered it! It’s brevity does not diminish one iota of its layered, tickling impact. Impressive and enthralling at numerous levels, Linda Williams & Megan Lloyd created “ The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything” in 1986.
