Half-Past Bedtime - Version 2

by H. H. Bashford

Half-Past Bedtime tells the story of Marian, a young girl who encounters the peculiar Mr. Jugg, a mysterious figure who claims to be the King of the Bumpies. The Bumpies, as Mr. Jugg explains, are baby angels still learning to fly, hence their clumsy bumps and stumbles. Through their interactions, Marian learns about the magic of the world and the wonders that exist beyond the realm of the ordinary. With Mr. Jugg's guidance, Marian embarks on adventures filled with whimsical characters, enchanting landscapes, and heartwarming lessons about friendship, learning, and the boundless possibilities of the human imagination.
