Robert, Anthea, Cyril, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb, leave London for a stay in the countryside. With space to roam and adults occupied elsewhere, the older children set out to enjoy themselves. Digging in a gravel pit, they uncover something much stranger than buried treasure: a small, hairy creature with eyes on stalks and a very strong opinion of its own importance.
