Illustrated by Pam SmyLucy's green-fingered grandfather gets help in the garden from a mysterious character called Lob who has existed for generations. Like her Grandpa, Lucy believes in his power and magic. This sensitive and poetically written story evokes all the pleasures of rural life and gardening. A memorable book about the threads that link generations and the power of belief. With pen and ink illustrations throughout, including some atmospheric double spreads, and different size fonts adding visual interest this is a rewarding and satisfying read.
