A town in the north of England has been abandoned due to a dam being built which will cause the town to be submerged. A father wakes his daughter and takes her to the abandoned town just before completion. They talk of his and her childhood memories of the musicians who lived there. The child then plays her fiddle in all the houses filling the town with music. Soon the dam is complete and the town disappeared underwater but the music lives on in the water and around the lake. The book is based on a real story. It is powerful with the illustrations marrying perfectly to the almost poetic like text. (Words by Megan Watterson)
