A Great Book, Mar 18 2000

I have read all the Mennym books but espeically liked this one. This is the last book in the series, so to understand what's going on you need to read the books from the begining (starting with The Mennyms) or atleast read the Mennyms Alone before this one.It's about what happens after the Mennyms die. The Mennyms are a family of living, life-sized, rag dolls. They are Sir Magnus, Grandfather, who has 100 pearls of wisdom, Tulip, the Grandmother and skillful buissnesswomen, Joshua, the quiet father, Vinetta, the loving mother, and their five children: Soobie the blue rag doll, his twin Pilbeam, Applebey the redheaded teenager, and the ten-year-old twins, Poopie and Wimpey. And there is also Miss Quigley, the nanny to Googles, Vinetta's baby. In the book before this, the Mennyms mysteriously die, (they mysteriously came alive forty some years ago after their maker, Kate Penshaw died) and this book tells what happens when they come alive again, finding themselves in the care of Daisy Maughan, an old lady who owns an antique shop. I think this book makes a wonderful conclusion to the series-it really leaves you wondering!
