Illustrated by
Helen Craig.
A little girl is fascinated by an empty house she walks past with her mother and baby sister. One day, beckoned by a little boy (garden gnome come to life?), she explores the grounds and finds various unexpected wildlife. Craig's soft etchings and aquatints convey the surprises around every corner of a story that is all about imagination.
