I am looking for a picture book/book for early reading I read in the early to mid 90s in Australia. It had this man looking for treasure or gold in a cave or mine. He brought his horse or donkey along I believe. When he found the treasure I believe a ghost/whole lot of spooks appeared? What I remember most were the pictures which were very scary and grotesque and if I remember correctly colourful.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Could it be More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (or another one in that series) by Alvin Schwartz? I don’t know if these books have that story but the grotesque pictures always stood out to me in those books.
Sadly not. It was an independent book and from memory the illustrations took up most of the page space. With only boxes of writing. Thank you for the suggestion though!
