The second delightful story featuring Edie and her friends the Flits - the little winged people only children can see. A must for all fans of HARKLIGHTS as well as classics like THE BORROWERS. When Edie's dad, who is in charge of London Underground's Lost Property Office, is invited to Paris to advise the Metro, Edie joins him. There she discovers to her horror a terrarium with a glasshouse tableau including what appear to be stuffed flits. But as flits can only be seen by children of twelve and under, she begins to worry that, as her thirteenth birthday approaches, she soon won't be able to help. So she and her friends Charlie, Naz and flit Impey embark on a tense and exciting Parisian adventure to rescue the glasshouse flits before it's too late.
