These are stories for the half hour before bed, told to a boy called Marmaduke and his friends by the Toyman. They meet a little lost fox, ride a big bobsled, sail under the Jolly Roger, visit the old woman who lived on the canal, play two o’ cat, light a fairy lamp, attend the animals’ birthday party and size up Dr. Philemon Pipp, the patent-medicine man.
