AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At midnight, baby Brenda climbs out of her cot, creeps out of the house and joins all the other babies for a wild adventure in the park. As soon as the sun comes up, they toddle home to bed and no-one ever knows what they've been up to ... least of all their families' (Source: online bookseller).
