Summary

Barnabus Kwerk lives in the biggest, fanciest house in Undle.
His family are stinking rich. They're also dreadful people. Barnabus doesn't want to be like the rest of the Kwerks. He wants to go to school and make friends and be happy. But that isn't possible as long as he remains trapped in the attic bedroom of the Big House.
When a stranger calls one stormy night, Barnabus is fascinated. His Aunt Jemima is like no-one he has ever met before. She knows secrets – about the Kwerks' dark past, about Barnabus's mother, and about a glorious golden machine at the centre of the Earth.
She offers Barnabus a life of adventure. But every great adventure has danger at its heart.

    Here for your enjoyment are 12 imaginative stories written by A.A. Milne about beautiful 12 illustrations originally published in the Colliers magazine. (I strongly urge listeners to find this book on line and look at each illustration while listening. The story he weaves is intimately involved with what is going on there. I promise you will be delighted.) He wove these into flights of fancy and fun about the children shown; their background, problems and desires. I liked these stories and just wanted to have the joy of reading them myself. So this will be my solo attempt to bring these stories to life for children and adults.

To make it, Molly and the others must work together, but a rift of a different kind is forming among the survivors. If they aren’t careful, it could eat them alive.
