Items related to Little Hands Clapping
Once upon a time, in a room above a German museum, there lived an old man . . .
A caretaker by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken only by the occasional crunch of a spider between his teeth.
However, the old man's solitude is disturbed as unusual activities at the museum start to attract attention. A pair of young and outrageously beautiful lovers, a baker's son with a passion for the euphonium, and a dog called Hans are just some of the innocents pulled into Rhodes's mesmerising world.

Review:
"Disturbing and delightful." (The Telegraph)
"A macabre, brilliant and terrifying novel. Good strong stuff." (Michael Holroyd Guardian)
"Genius ... A sublime, brilliant novel." (The Scotsman)
"A remarkable success." (The Spectator)
"While never losing sight of the monstrousness that ensnares his characters, Rhodes remains gloriously, mordantly funny." (The Independent)
"

"Reading it is like taking a deep breath into the lungs of your imagination." (Scotland on Sunday)
"The sense that this is a fairy story, with all the implications of a moral message and an investigation of human nature that come with it, runs through the book and is heightened by its title . . . His gentle yet clever telling of the monstrous events at the museum finds humanity in the horror and makes his characters' unpleasant antics seem almost whimsical . . . After reading Rhodes's book, many little hands should be clapping very loudly indeed." (Alice Fisher OBSERVER)

After reading Rhodes's book, many little hands should be clapping very loudly
indeed.
"
An amusing fable about thwarted altruism and good intentions gone askew. It should please cynical idealists and idealistic cynics alike.
" (Financial Times)"
Just trust us on this one... he really is one of the most inventive
authors around. *****
