A small white ghost sits on a round bark-edged base with an open book in its lap, reading under a little lantern that hangs from a crooked branch and glows warm yellow. It is a whole storybook scene in about eight inches, made for a shelf, a desk or the table beside the bed.
A cream sign on the tree says "Boo!", with a bat and a tiny skull beside the word.
One small scene, with every part doing something
The trunk rises at the back in a dark, nearly black brown, carved with deep bark grooves and cut off at the top like an old stump. A thick branch curls out from it and over to the right. The lantern hangs from its tip on a small silver hook, just beside the ghost's head, as if somebody had lit it so the ghost could keep reading.
The ghost is a soft, rounded shape in bright white with a gentle sheen, two black oval eyes and nothing else on its face. It holds its open book in both hands, and its sheet spreads out over the tan top of the base in loose folds. The sign is fixed flat to the front of the trunk, a cream faux-wood plank with carved-look black letters and two little cracks across it.
The lantern is the light, and it stays gentle
The lantern's frosted globe glows a warm amber-yellow inside a dark bronze-brown frame. It is soft enough to sit beside you on a nightstand without lighting the room, and bright enough that the scene still reads when the other lamps go down. A glow, not a lamp.
In daylight the globe still shows its warm color against the dark tree, so the piece looks finished on a sunny shelf as well as in the evening. It is made for indoor seasonal display, on a dry surface away from the weather.
Where it looks best
Put it on a bookshelf between real books and the reading ghost suddenly makes sense. On a nightstand it sits beside your own book and glasses. On a desk, an entry table or a mantel with a few small pumpkins around it, it adds a lit point to a Halloween display without taking over the surface.
At about 8.3 inches tall, with a base about 4.5 inches across, it stands about as tall as a hardback novel. It also makes an easy gift for someone who reads. Every evening of the season, the little lantern keeps the ghost company on the page.
