Foulsham opens at the Iremonger family offices in the aptly named borough of Foulsham, London’s great repository of filth. Grandfather Umbitt Iremonger has found a way to turn objects into people and people into objects. Clod, whom he sees as a threat, has been turned into a gold coin and is being passed as currency from hand-to-hand through the town. Meanwhile, Lucy Pennant has been discarded as a clay button, abandonded in the depths of the Heaps. Will they be found and retunred to human form? All around the city, thing—ordinary things—are twitching into life, and the reader is held in breathless suspense as questions of life and death, value and disposability, and the fate of Clod and Lucy rumble through this thrillingly dark and gloriously illustrated book.
