"In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster--much to the townsfolk's delight! Each town's unique monster is a source of local pride, not to mention tourism. Each town, that is-- except for one. Unfortunately, for the people of Stoker-on-Avon, their monster isn't quite as impressive. In fact, he's a little down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover and become a proper horror? It's up to the eccentric Dr. Charles Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff, before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling"--Page 4 of cover. In a fantastical 1860's England, each town's pride is its monster that terrorizes the town on a regular basis and draws tourists, but the people of Stoker-on-Avon are embarrassed by their morose monster, Rayburn. The text contains mild profanity.
