through Earth's incredible evolution, with its forgotten creatures,
its buried oceans and its frozen layers. It leads us to Solveig, a
little girl who lives far, far away from Kun, where she floats in a
pool heated by fires at the centre of the Earth. Following on from
The Rhythm of the Rain and Wild is the Wind, Kate Greenaway
award-winner Grahame Baker-Smith takes us on an unforgettable
