When the Fens move into their new house, a curious neighbor, Mrs. Hysteria, drops in, and while the visit starts well enough, on spotting Mumbo, she passes out. When she finally leaves, she makes it her job to make this gentle family public enemies. What will become of the Fens? Find out in this wonderful tale of a fantastic family...
