About the Book

Griff is a stone dog. That is to say, someone has taken a lump of stone and carved it into the shape of a dog, or to be more precise, a Great Dane. It is the kind of thing that people buy to put in their garden as an ornament. Griff, however, is different from the normal dog made of stone, because he can walk and run just like a real dog. Also, unlike a real dog, he can talk. But these 'gifts' had been of no use as he had spent many boring years sitting silent and motionless in a dull concrete yard in the city. He was then carted off to a gloomy shop where he sat forgotten until Mrs McGuillycuddy bought him and placed him amongst the flowers in her garden. Now Griff was surrounded by beautiful flowers and had friends he could talk to. Better than that, he was now free to get up and walk about. So each night he could go exploring the surrounding countryside with his best friend, Samson the cat. All he had to do was make sure that no humans ever discovered his 'secret'. He knew if this happened he would have to leave the garden and lose his friends.

Review :
'There is often magic in the air at sunset. For stone dog Griff it is a special magic that gives him life. Allow yourself to be swept along by Griff's exciting adventures and the curious characters he encounters once the sun has set. You won't be disappointed... ...and you will be surprised!' --Mark Billen, author and playwright 'A fantastic story, filled with imagination and laughter throughout.' --Ruby Sidaway, age 12
