It is the night of an eclipse - a mysterious, breath-taking night - Suddenly the anxious watchers at Puddleby-on-the-Marsh see a long-awaited sign: the Doctor's smoke-signal comes drifting down from the nearly smothered moon. The great man is coming back! Over at last are the days of worry - the nights of guessing. Screeches of delight - yelps of joy - hoots of happiness burst from the excited animals. Imagine their astonishment when they see the Doctor come riding into his garden on an enormous locust. The Doctor, through years of living on the moon, has become nearly as large as Otho Bludge, the Moon-Man, himself. For a time he has to live in a circus tent erected for him by Tommy Stubbins and Matthew Mugg. And such tales he has to tell the thrilled little family - strange, enchanting tales of another life on another planet! They prove more mysteriously surprising, more unbelievably beautiful, perhaps, than any stories he has ever told them before." - from the inner front jacket flap.
