There’s never a dull moment at Marvellous Mansion! And since Henry the raccoon moved into one of the washing machines in the café, hardly a day has gone by without Matilda and her cousin Joschi finding themselves caught up in some new adventure.
Marvellous Mansion is the backdrop to a series of wonderfully charming and original stories about an extended family – perfect for children aged 5+!
Matilda and Joschi live with their family in a big house called Marvellous Mansion. Grandma Hilda and Grandpa Per live on the ground floor; their launderette, The Soap Cake, is now run by their daughters Sina and Ina, who have transformed it into a thoroughly modern enterprise with a café attached. Matilda lives on the first floor with her parents and older brother, and on the floor above them lives Joschi, with his mother and somewhat eccentric inventor father. Apart from the fact that Joschi is a day older than his cousin – and never lets her forget it, much to her annoyance – the two youngest members of this multi-generational family are kindred souls. The pair are inseparable, and are usually to be found flitting between the café, the flats, the backyard and the dusty attic.
Then a racoon moves into one of the washing machines in the café, and not a day goes by without some sort of to-do at Marvellous Mansion! The children promptly christen the raccoon Henry, after their great-great-grandmother Henrietta. Nobody really remembers her, but there’s a photograph of her hanging in the hallway – and with those dark circles round her eyes, she and the raccoon do look uncannily alike...- Seven-minute stories for reading aloud or independent reading
