I read this because of the album "Astercote" by The Heartwood Institute: theheartwoodinstitute.bandcamp.com/album/astercote
The book seemed half familiar like I may have read it 30 odd years ago, but the only Penelope Lively I really remember is "The Ghost of Thomas Kempe" which I had on tape...

Most of these stories are super-depressing... Highlights for me were "Drunken Fireworks", the fucked-up elephant poem "The Bone Church" and "Cookie Jar" - I want to know more about Lalanka and the forza mist...
