Our story tonight is called Sycamore and the Gravestones (Part 1), and apart from that being the best band name I’ve ever heard in my life, it is the first of our three-part Halloween special. It’s a story about a trip back to the Curios Shop and plans for one of the best times of year. It’s also about words written in blue chalk on a board, a dream about a familiar tree, and a way to remember others with kindness and care. Bob has spooked-up versions of our Halloween stories from every year of the show; they’re a lot of fun, full of sound effects, and available for free at nothingmuchhappens.com. While you’re there, you can buy merch, sign up for our ad-free and bonus episodes, and just enjoy some of the lovely illustrations of our village. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which exists to protect Africa’s wildlife and to preserve habitats for the future of all wild species. https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.orgPurchase Our Book: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-HappensSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
