Synopsis

Imagine getting so very, very small that you could leave your house by a crack under the door and live, for a while, in your very own, private snail house. Imagine a tigerish bird, raindrops like sacks of water, an apple the size of a huge bomb. Imagine the adventures you might have...Now picture yourself on the verandah one warm summer's evening, with Michael, Hannah and the baby, as Grandma begins her story...
