A funny, silly story about two mice who live downstairs from a mad scientist. When a Stinky Hippobottomus falls out of the sky on top of Brie, she wants to know where it came from and, more importantly, can she keep it? Whilst the gross happenings will make readers laugh out loud, the science, word-play and mystery will also challenge them to think. Great for braver parents and children to read aloud (and even act out!), and ideal for reluctant readers.

Excerpt from The Ghost-Ship Other StoriesIt delights because it is significant, because it is no mere assemblage of words and facts and observations and incidents it delights because its matter has not passed through the crucible unchanged. On the contrary, the jumble of experiences and impressions which fell to the lot of the author as to us all had assuredly been placed in the athanor of art, in that furnace of the sages which is said to be governed with wisdom. Lead entered the burning of the fire, gold came forth from it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Voted one of Christianity Today's 1996 Books of the Year! The carnivalesque, pluralistic culture in hich we live can be seen as a consequence of the breakdown of modernity (which touted itself as the "greatest show on earth"), combined with a recognition of the socially constructed character of reality. Since the old construction has been discredited and is in a process of decomposition, the season is open on the construction of new realities which are produced with the speed and ease of temporary circus tents being raised. Far from witnessing the erosion or even eclipse of religious belief that the Enlightenment so confidently predicted, the eclipse of the Enlightenment has resulted in a veritable smorgasbord of religions and worldviews for our consumption. So Richard Middleton and Brian Walsh colorfully describe our postmodern setting. In this book they survey postmodern culture and philosophy, offering lucid explanations of such difficult theories as deconstruction. They are sympathetic to the postmodern critique, yet believe that a gospel stripped of its modernist trappings speaks a radical word of hope and transformation to our chaotic culture. The book for those who wonder what postmodernism is and how biblical Christians might best respond.
