Monster Night at Grandma's House

Richard Peck's only picture book, Monster Night at Grandma's House (1977), illus. by Don Freeman, appears here with an author's note recounting the volume's genesis. This tale of a boy's fearful night at Grandma's house unfolds through a lengthy text perhaps best appreciated by die-hard Peck fans. Freeman's two-color scratchboard artwork in India ink and watercolor adds to the period feel.
