More Than One World

A race of enormous people once inhabited the lands in which this story is set. They lived here for thousands of years. They built cities and roads - so many cities, so many roads! They tilled the earth and grew crops - so many crops! They plundered even the ground itself for minerals and anything else it contained that they found useful. Then, in a very short space of time, they disappeared. Their cities stood empty, their fields untilled.

Yet, there were survivors. The flora and fauna remained unharmed and flourished. Among the fauna, a very small race still remained, living as best they knew how. They looked very much like the race of human beings that had vanished, only they were much, much smaller. This book tells the story of one community in particular and how one ordinary family, quite without meaning to, stumbled on a much bigger world than they had ever imagined - and how that world grew bigger - and bigger - and bigger - apparently for ever.

The Stone family, the Fisher family and the Mason family take centre stage. Beth Stone leads the way to strange new places, joined by Big John Fisher. The story leads them all on and keeps them all far too busy to ask themselves the question "Where did all the Big People go?" At least, they have not asked it yet.
