Is it related to the Indian in the Cupboard series by Lynne Reid Banks? I know it isn't the main book, but she wrote several sequels and similar things, could be one of them.


Huh, It does sound like Indian in the Cupboard, but also something else...What was the names of the families?

Here is a description of Davin:
Outside, World War II rages as German planes drop bombs over London. Inside one family's home, a boy lies gravely ill in bed. Before leaving to fight in the war, his father told him about Davin, a teddy bear that holds the power to make sick boys well. But things look bad--no one knows where Davin is.
In an attempt to save their friend, the miniature figures of a little Bugle Boy, a blustery Sergeant Major, a princess, Robin Hood, Chingachgook, and Perseus, the Greek hero, come to life and join forces to find the mysterious Davin. Along the way, they encounter a ferocious cat, a man-eating spider, the Dark Knight, and Blackbeard and his band of terrifying pirates.
As read by Grandma Goddess to her grandchildren, Davin is a story within a story, a fantasy in which literary and historical characters clash in a war between good and evil to save a child's life.

Well, she was still active as of last month on GR. So it's at least possible that we will get a reply.


My longest time between posting a book and finding it was 3 years and 7 months. So don't give up hope on any book. Just keep bumping it periodically.

The ordinary green jug had been in the Lovell family for generations, but it was not until Martin and Lucy were spending a dull afternoon at their Aunt Bea's that they first made the astonishing discovery that the white cat on the handle could come to life. When he settled down on the hearth-rug, introduced himself, and began to explain the story behind the ol nursery rhyme, Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, they were drawn by the irritable, sarcastic Snowy into a strange adventure, fighting the evil influence of the mysterious Green Lady, whose magic powers had confined him to the jug, and whose wicked plots were now threatening the freedom of humankind. The curious struggle involves the Fiddler, two striped mathematical mice, Jerome and Sylvester, a flying rocking horse, and many other fascinating characters. And all-important is the conjuror's box, one of the gates between this world and another, different world...
