The Socksnatchers are a family of tiny people who live in the Perkins family's basement. They "borrow" used socks in order to cook smelly sock soup and they sleep in smelly sock beds. When Abner Socksnatcher breaks two cardinal rules by bringing back a pair of clean socks ("Snatching one sock is sharing, snatching a pair is stealing...Clean socks are useless"), both households are thrown into chaos. And as if that isn't enough, the cat has discovered their hidey-hole! Lorna Balian fans won't be disappointed by this sweet and silly tale.
