(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Helen Craig. When Till's beloved dog vanishes, a strange little man--a Finder--appears at the garden gate and offers to help. The dreamlike story unfolds slowly, and Craig's illustrations, sketchlike black-and-white drawings and crosshatched color pictures, echo the novel's lilting cadences. Pearce and Craig, grandmothers to the same two boys, collaborated on the volume until Pearce's death in 2006.
