"A Sound Like Someone Trying Not to Make a Sound" by John Irving and beautifully illustrated byTatjana Hauptmann This is a new hardback with dustjacket Would make a great present! Sorry, but will not be offered to watchers!

Fears and fantasies fill the mind of a small boy who wakes to unfamiliar sounds in the night in this tale excerpted from Irving’s A Widow for One Year. When he fails to awaken Tim, his sleeping younger brother, Tom calls upon his father to investigate the strange sounds he describes as a “monster with no arms and legs” that “slides on its fur” and “pulls itself along on its teeth.” Suspense builds as Tom searches the dark house for the nameless monster, which his father anti-climatically identifies as “just a mouse crawling between the walls.”
