About this book

In this novel, we follow Woodlouse and Earwig, two friends as they emerge in the spring sunshine, and follow them through the warm summer months and a long drought, through an autumn storm, and say farewell to them as winter approaches.

During the drought, the animals organise an underground concert in which a small beetle sings a song. "It's a humorous song" she began, "about our hosts." There was a pause, then she added shyly, "About Woodlouse and Earwig".

On the way, we meet other inhabitants of the garden, a mysterious plume moth, a dreaming snail, acrobatic grasshoppers, birds, insects, other animals ... and humans too, of whom Earwig says he "never could make out one half of the odd things they do".
