It's Halloween! And old traditions meet the new in Tumshie. Set today in Scotland, Tumshie is a beautiful illustrated story of a father and his son making old fashioned Halloween lanterns and a costume like Elliot's dad used to make when he was a boy. No off the rack costumes here! Guising, dooking for apples, and carving a lantern from a tumshie (the Scots word for a turnip) are all here in this colourful, illustrated book. Inspired by the traditions of Scottish Halloweens in the past, author and illustrator Mark Mechan, who trained at Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, has created this book to celebrate a time when Halloween was more home grown.
