Book description
>
Recounted through the eyes of Art himself, Larklight is
sumptuously designed and illustrated throughout.
P>
Arthur (Art) Mumby and his irritating sister Myrtle live with their
father in the huge and rambling house, Larklight, travelling through
space on a remote orbit far beyond the Moon. One ordinary sort of
morning they receive a correspondence informing them that a gentleman is
on his way to visit, a Mr Webster. Visitors to Larklight are rare if not
unique, and a frenzy of preparation ensues. But it is entirely the wrong
sort of preparation, as they discover when their guest arrives, and a
Dreadful and Terrifying (and Marvellous) adventure begins. It takes them
to the furthest reaches of Known Space, where they must battle the evil
First Ones in a desperate attempt to save each other - and the
Universe.< >
