Have you noticed how things get older? Of course you have – you can’t fail to notice such things.
Stop paying attention for a moment and you’ll discover that what was shiny and new a while ago is now old and useless. Who’s to blame? Well, living somewhere in our midst are little creatures who make all this ageing their business. And a pretty tough job they have too! One day, Typo, who specializes in printing errors in books, learns that when things get spoiled or old, people often aren’t too happy about it. So he sets out on a journey of adventure to the Ravages of Time. Will he manage to bring ageing to an end? And what role does the talking dung beetle play in all this?
