Publisher Description

The rope hung from top to bottom of his dream.

The rope hung softly, saying nothing, doing nothing. Then the rope began to swing very softly, very gently.. towards him.

The need to face your fears; the comedy of family life; the pressure of others expectations... Intense experiences of childhood are vividly brought to life in these eight atmospheric tales.A gripping collection of short stories from award-winning author Philippa Pearce.

    " Sooooo very boring. The writing was ok, hence the two stars, but I just couldn't stop being annoyed by the sisters long enough to care about what was going to happen. "

    " This book was alright. The action scenes were awesome but the romance was waaaaay too sappy. I'm a girl and I was practically vomiting while reading it. It was a little overboard. But overall it was a very unique read. "
