Ringmasters Daughter

The theme of a father finding a long-lost daughter runs through this novel which is told by Petter, a precocious child and fantasist. Petter's magical interior world contains Metre Man, a midget with a green felt cap and a bamboo cane; Metre Man runs his life and urges him to do things.
