Grimsdyke's return
Mr Grimsdyke has arrived back in Bloggington at the darkest hour of the night in the darkest days of the library service. Perkins, the library cat, lies fast asleep in the Gladstone bag, with its beautifully cut windows for him to see outside but there is neither moonlight nor mouse astir.
The library service of Bloggington and indeed the whole country has been taken under the control of a tin of biscuits and a plate of cream cakes. Books have been removed, roofs have had large holes placed in them and the libraries have been turned in to Recovery Centres and fitness booths.
Mrs Sideloader and Ron are sitting desolate on the pier danging their toes in the brine of Bloggington Bay. What will become of them all? Will the sun ever rise?
