The Vanishment of Thomas Tull

This is a typically zany, densely-packed Ahlberg story of Thomas Tull, the boy who started shrinking when he was seven. Despite all kinds of crazy remedies, at eight he had to stand on a box to blow out his birthday candles and at nine, his young sister dressed him up like a doll. Like all Tellastory cassettes, the story is a good length and unabridged. Nigel Carrington's narration is competent. Different voices are effectively and subtly characterised: engrossing listening for girls and boys of around 8-11.
