Publisher's summary

Foulsham has been destroyed. Darkness lies heavily over the city; the sun has not come up for days. Inside the houses throughout the capital, ordinary objects have begun to move. There are rumours of a terrible contagion. From the richest mansion to the poorest slum, people have disappeared. The police have been instructed to carry arms. Someone has stolen a certain plug. Someone is lighting a certain box of matches. All will come tumbling down. The Iremongers have come to London.

This is a unique story.

This was unique story. With good writing with an array of vocabulary, I did not have trouble listening to it. In fact, I made excuses to get away from every day life to hear more. I love the book Little by Edward Carey as well. I do not hesitate to listen to books from Edward Carey. Great Job.

Sooo good!!

What a wonderful tale. It was magical and silly and brave and quite entertaining! If you’re looking for a book that’s not about just romance and regular day to day life kind of stuff - this is the pick for you!
It is the third in the series and definitely needs to be read in order , it’s a great option for listening to in the car. If you have children, even though it’s not childish, it doesn’t deal with anything inappropriate. It’s almost like the author knew it was going to be narrated some books really thrive with narration and this was one of them. Bravo excellent book.
