Official synopsis Publisher
“You try telling your mother that you can’t get to sleep because there’s a ghost sitting in the room clacking its knitting-needles and humming.” — Or that there’s a Martian at the front door. Or that there’s a dragon living underneath the house. Or that your pet dog talks to you. — She’ll never believe you. You might not even believe it yourself. But strange things do happen – and these witty and ingenious tales show just how extraordinary life can be.
