The Rain Door

Resumen del libro

This is a young boy's fantastic and fantastical trip of discovery beyond the real world...with a horn that goes GAHOOGA! One hot summer Thursday, Harry meets the rag-and-bone man and his horse, and follows them through the rain door - to a whole other world behind the weather. When Harry hears a lion roar, he wants to get home as fast as he can...but that turns out to be easier said than done. After an exciting adventure involving a home-made dinosaur and a sky-high flight through the mother of all thunderstorms, will Harry manage to escape the thundering lion and get back home? This is Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake at their most atmospheric and wildly imaginative.

It is a long-awaited reissue of an irresistible classic, featuring a horse called Lightning and a clockwork dinosaur. It has vast appeal to young boys, middle-aged-boy dads and old-boy book-buying grandfathers alike.
