About this title: In the very small town of Frip--it contains only three houses--tiny creatures called gappers feed on the inhabitants' goats. A crisis erupts when the gappers all lay siege to the goats of one particular house. This illustrated novel by the author of PASTORALIA and CIVILWARLAND IN DEEP DECLINE is part fable for adults, part sophisticated children's book.
