Buildings are starting to crumble due to the kidnapping of their hobs, the many-legged house spirits that keep each home in order. In such times, one would ordinarily blame the Devil, but he has been enchanted by a new and enticing evil: The jackbooted villainy of Gwendolyn Gooch, who has taken the hobs for her latest diabolical scheme--apartments for rent. As the hobs retrofit the gaudy Gooch Towers, the fate of the city lies in the hands of the arboreal Professor Green; his rare, complete set of the \u003cem\u003eHousehold Gramarye\u003c\/em\u003e; and its famulus, the prim Mrs. Bobkins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA delightful new novel in a series \"perfectly cut to fit the Pratchett-shaped hole in my heart\" (C.
