Rose Cottage stands mouldering, damp and empty - or is it? Among its timbers and peeling walls an army of creatures find and ideal home. Thay have a house to eat.
When Sue and John Andrews start to make a home, those creatures have to go. This "wet forest" of old wood and wallpaper is transformed into a "dry prairie" that is an architect's dream. But what of the starlings, bats, fleas, carpet beetles, spiders, mice, rats, silver-fish, fungi, toads and wood-lice evicted by the change? Can they fight their way back to share the new world of warmth and security? What other plagues will Sue and John encounter as they battle for survival in their new home?
