In the tick-tock quiet, a shaft of moonlight tickles the nose of something sleeping. It`s a stuffed, stripy horse. He twitches. Then an enormous dusty sneeze echoes round the room. He`s awake. So begins this charming story, all about a forgotten toy who can`t remember his name. He is befriended by Muriel (a hummingbird who flutters off the pattern on a lamp), Hermann (a daft draught excluder), and Wedgie and Woodie (penguin-shaped salt and pepper shakers), and embarks on an adventure to meet Ming, a wise and ancient Chinese vase cat, who is the only person in the shop who might be able to tell him who he is. Thrills, spills, and some seriously silly situations await him on his adventure.
