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 make objects assume the shapes of people, and how to turn 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? Enter Binadit and Rippit...Meanwhile Umbitt builds an army of animated objects to retrieve the missing gold coin. 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, rumble through this dark and mesmerizing world.

Industry Reviews

Foulsham is a jaunty sequel to Edward Carey's delightful Heap House. Carey, who teaches fairy tales at the University of Texas and illustrates his books, knows how to keep the narrative moving. But he also knows how to write interesting, quirky characters who will appeal to adults as well as children.
