Synopsis

Shellover has woken up again. After a rather dull winter, Mrs Candy and her pets - the cat, the dog, the cow and the chickens - are relieved to find that his head is as full as ever of wonderful stories. Stories about green clad dancers who vanish at cockcrow, about a strange feathered child who hatches from a speckled egg, about a baby fished from the sea. Stories about children who seem ordinary, but who nevertheless make snowmen that can talk, or are friends with a witch. Everyday stories - one about a little girl and her friends, the horse and the hen; another about two boys in an adventure playground, and a new story about Minnie, the cat, and her inquisitive kittens. These and many others are illustrated with marvellous invention and imagination by Anthony Maitland. Shellover is as full of delightful surprises as he was when he first began story-telling in the Ten Tales of Shellover. But this time something else happens; when Shellover gets sleepy again the pets decide to tell their own stories - and they are really rather good at it.
