In a strange house anything might happen, and in Grandfather's house, antique furniture stuffed with personality bustles through the moonlit rooms to help Hortense against a sinister Cat.

Carl Grabo's 1929 book is a whimsical, inventive fantasy for children. Charming, imaginative, warmly told. Read it for a delightful tale of a little girl's night-time campaign in an old house full of living furniture, against a wicked cat, from a noted writer on the craft of the story.
