About this book
Lost in a London fog, Ridgwell finds unexpected help from one of the lions in Trafalgar Square. The statue speaks, offers him a paw and introduces himself as Lal, short for Lionel. This friendly, grumbling creature says he wakes once in every generation to talk with children and imaginative adults. Soon he promises Ridgwell a tournament between familiar figures from the city's monuments.
Raymond Paton's children's fantasy treats the streets and statues of London as the entrance to a hidden fairyland. Ridgwell and Christine share in a world where a writer takes their experiences seriously, even as Cookie compares their account to Cinderella. Scenes of tea, muffins and conversation sit beside the prospect of remarkable public events.
