Synopsis
An old man, wary of other people, looks after many neglected and strange animals on his lonely hill-top shack. Across the valley, the townspeople are fearful of the old man. When a huge deluge of rain turns the man's hill into an island, the actions of one brave boy save the man and his animals, and bring harmony to the valley.

Spellbinding, 27 Sep 2005

By	ILONACAT (WIRRAL, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews

Though my children like this book, I freely admit that I bought it for myself. The pencil drawings are absolutely wonderful, perfectly evoking the rain-turning-into-a-deluge which is at the heart of this story.Forget about a broad colour palette-these pictures don't need one.

This story is really a fable about how we need each other, and done so simply and gently, without any proselytizing.

A superb book for all ages. I intend to purchase more copies for friends.
