Under the Stairs

'It's boring spending Sunday afternoons at Aunt Sarah's.' At least, that's what Sophie thought until she disobeyed her aunt and went under the stairs. There she discovers a whole new world of strange creatures such as the Brush-hogs, the Golflogg, not to mention the terrible Hooversaurus with whom she does battle. The transmogrification of familiar objects into surreal creatures is made the more dramatic by Fiona Dunbar's realistic illustrative style. A story which reflects children's imaginative and inventive play.
