'If you follow someone down a path you don't recognise, you risk not being able to find your way back.' When Ouida was a child her father sleepwalked out of the house... never to return. Ouida suspected her imaginary friend "Burt" led him astray, but her family insisted he'd abandoned them and she must give up all notions of imaginary things. Years later, Ouida is a respected therapist debunking the irrational and fantastic... But what will you believe? This beautiful, darkly comic story about magic versus cynicism leaves audiences charmed – and just a little bit spooked.
