Ill and bored with being confined to bed, Marianne picks up a pencil and begins doodling – a house, a garden, a boy at a window. That night, in an extraordinary dream, she finds herself transported straight into her own picture, and soon realises she isn’t alone there. The boy at the window, Mark, is watched over – and threatened – by menacing stone figures surrounding the solitary house. Together, in their shared dreams, Marianne and Mark must find a way to save themselves . . . ‘I could get in,’ Marianne thought, ‘if there was a person inside the house. There has got to be a person. I can’t get in unless there is somebody there.’ A powerful, haunting classic and the perfect gift for children aged 8+, this well-loved title will delight a new generation of readers on the Faber Children’s Classics list.
