Funny,thought-provoking and moving,this much loved story is a true classic.'What are we,Papa'the toy mouse child asked his father. 'I don't know,'the father answered.'We must wait and see.'So begins the story of a tin father and son who dance under a Christmas tree until they break the ancient clockwork rules and are themselves broken. Thrown away,then rescued from a dustbin and repaired by a tramp,they set out on a dangerous quest for a family and a place of their own - the magnificent doll's house,the plush elephant and the tin seal they had once know in the toy shop.'Hugely funny,provocative,pathetic and heroic.'TLS'Brilliantly plotted...a spellbinder...it has a style that glows and crackles.'Spectator
