What is Vile visitors about?

Two mischievous stories about visitors who are impossible to get rid of. In one, Angus Flint is so rude and mean that even the furniture turns against him. In the other, an old armchair is transformed into a most troublesome guest, leaving the children desperate to change him back. With magical surprises, determined children and furniture that has a mind of its own, these funny tales show that unwelcome visitors may get more than they bargained for.
