Grumpy Bert Brown and his wife Betty have a little angel, Angelino. Their friends - both children and adults - rejoice at the cute creature: how cute he is! He's learning to talk! And fly! And here are Angelino’s enemies: some are smart and know that angels have no place among people; others are cunning and dream of selling an angel at a bargain price. They have already caught Angelino and put him on a chain! Is this really how it will all end? Yes maybe. Or maybe not. All the books of David Almond, an Andersen Prize winner, are full of magic, wisdom and rethinking of ideas about good and evil, normal and abnormal.
