All these delightful stories are concerned with sleeping and waking, dreams, and night time, and around each tale is woven the theme of a familiar lullaby or bedtime song. There are also many memorable characters - helpful crows, a malicious kelpie, Gladiolus the invisible cat, and a girl who dreams of her future brother. This is a very special collection of goodnight stories, combining real life, magic, and fantasy, from acclaimed author Joan Aiken.

Sebelius Sallow, a clockmaker in the snowy-streets of 1836 London, is often overlooked and unappreciated. But on Christmas Eve, a series of life-changing events opens up a world of paranormal uncertainty. Guided by the personified Seven Deadly Sins and their counterparts, the Seven Heavenly Virtues, Sebelius is forced to confront the echoes of his past in a darkly humorous and thought-provoking tale of redemption, steeped in gothic gloom and moral reckoning.
