And Put Away Childish Things

Written by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrated by Adrian Tchaikovsky

All roads lead to Underhill, where it's always winter, and never nice.

Harry Bodie has a famous grandmother, who wrote beloved children's books set in the delightful world of Underhill. Harry himself is a failing kids' television presenter whose every attempt to advance his career ends in self-sabotage. His family history seems to be nothing but an impediment.

An impediment . . . or worse. What if Underhill is real? What if it has been waiting decades for a promised child to visit? What if it isn't delightful at all? And what if its denizens have run out of patience and are taking matters into their own hands?

Reviews for And Put Away Childish Things

[Colin Rothnie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This short book is lots of fun - especially for those brought up on Enid Blyton and perhaps with an interest in folklore. I found parts of the work quietly hilarious and an interesting reminder of the crazy "COVID lockdown" times. I am definitely in awe of Adrian Tchaikovsky's output and look forward to reading his new books.
