Sally, the little girl who can 'see' the Strings (Hemp, Flax and baby, Skein) is central to the story.
"The miniature world of the String family - Mr and Mrs String, their children, Hemp, Flax, Twine and baby Skein all come alive and share their adventures with Sally in Miss Floribunda's cottage in the country. Sally is the only human to be introduced to the String family and friends..."
Shortish, slowly-unfolded episodes sustain and extend the author's inventions, reminiscent of The Borrowers, yet more earth-bound, with their own quirky individuality. The writer's skill is such that when the characters leave Aunt Floribunda's cottage the spell still holds. Lovely surreal pictures and the cover (by Barbara Siedlecka) is enchanting.
