I read the other 4 books in the series and was delighted when i finally got hold of this book. The events that happen in this book are more fantasic than in the other 4, and waugh makes you feel like only you know what is happening. The way that it leads on from the Mennyms alone is brilliant, and even if you havn't read any of the others, there is enough detail in the book to explain what has happened before.
The way in which tulip has prepared for this to happen is brilliantly done, and when finally they move into a new house shows how the family overcome difficulty.
A very good read for anyone of any age. you almost forget how old you are when you read waughs books.

A Great Book
19 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
I have read all the Mennym books but espeically liked this one. This is the last book in the series, so to understand what's going on you need to read the books from the begining (starting with The Mennyms) or atleast read the Mennyms Alone before this one.It's about what happens after the Mennyms die. The Mennyms are a family of living, life-sized, rag dolls. They are Sir Magnus, Grandfather, who has 100 pearls of wisdom, Tulip, the Grandmother and skillful buissnesswomen, Joshua, the quiet father, Vinetta, the loving mother, and their five children: Soobie the blue rag doll, his twin Pilbeam, Applebey the redheaded teenager, and the ten-year-old twins, Poopie and Wimpey. And there is also Miss Quigley, the nanny to Googles, Vinetta's baby. In the book before this, the Mennyms mysteriously die, (they mysteriously came alive forty some years ago after their maker, Kate Penshaw died) and this book tells what happens when they come alive again, finding themselves in the care of Daisy Maughan, an old lady who owns an antique shop. I think this book makes a wonderful conclusion to the series-it really leaves you wondering!

The Mennyns is a creative story that explores the lives of an extraordinary family, it is a inviting read. The story will move you and make you wonder and reflect on their journey.
