All kinds of magical things happen to Glister Butterworth whose unusual world is wittily imagined in words and pictures. When Chilblain Hall, her already unruly home, is described as “a dog’s breakfast” by the chairman of the Village in Bloom competition, it uproots itself and vanishes. Glister and her father have many adventures as they search for their home and bring it back to its original foundations. With minimal text and maximum graphic style images this will be a hit amongst avid readers as well as more reluctant ones. Glister Butterworth also features in The Haunted Teapot.

Synopsis
Strange things happen around Glister Butterworth (frightfully inconsiderate it is, too). Occasionally, the strange things begin with a knock at the door... or sometimes a careless word or two. Chilblain Hall may well be a little tumbledown, have creaky timbers and a certain unpredictable air, but it still has feelings.
