The Minpins (Broché)

Come deep into the forest if you dare, but beware the Red-Hot-Smoke-Belching Gruncher Little Billy escapes his over-protective mother to explore the world beyond the garden gate, where The Forest of Sin lies. When Billy strays into the forest, he meets the Minpins - tiny people who live within the hollow trees. The Minpins tell Billy about the Red-Hot-Smoke-Belching Gruncher, who preys on them. Billy embarks on a mission to rid the Minpins of their foe once and for all, and sets off - on the back of a swan - to confront The Gruncher.
