About
Hello, pumpkins! Of course there’s an entire exhibition about the quintessential Halloween icon! From seeds and growing guides to harvest adventures and jack-o’-lanterns with ideas of their own, these pumpkin books celebrate the Manor’s favourite gourds. Now pop into the patch and pick out a new favourite...
Mortimer has organised the books by writer surname, A–Z, and shelved each series together in publication order, earliest first. Please don’t mix them up!
