The telling of a children's story proves top be the starting point for an epic journey into future space-time for three young children who witness for themselves distant civilisations, similar to their own, but evolving in different ways. It is a story of high drama, horror, fear, excitement, humour, mystery and wonder. It is an encounter with the best and the worst of people, with the highs and lows of friendship, and a story about how understanding leads to love. Above all, it is a tale about children to be read by adults: young and old. About their delights, fears, impishness, foibles, humour, inquisitiveness, endearing qualities, and, most of all, their ability to see things as they really are, without the baggage of being an adult. In the second part of the story, the return journey, we follow the children into a nightmarish scenario that could never happen on Earth - or could it?
