Dracula in Sunlight

Kath, her twin brother Pip and their annoying little sister are of mixed race. This causes them some problems, but not nearly as many as Kath's constant storytelling which becomes uncannily entangled with reality, or little Nicky's escapades as when she hides far too successfully in a game of Geronimo. Floella Benjamin is an appropriately vivacious narrator: the authentic dialogue comes over as real children and there's an interesting interleaving of Kath's stories with the real story of the mystery surrounding her own birth which is resolved sensitively. Both story and unabridged narration are energetic.
