The Little Grey Men
by B.B.

Dodder, Baldmoney, Cloudberry and Sneezewort are the last four gnomes living in Britain. Their home is under an old oak tree by the stream, and their friends are the kingfisher, the blue tit and the other Stream People. The gnomes are happy with their life, except for Clouldberry, who is restless and longs for adventure. When he sets off to explore what lies beyond the Folly - the stream that has been their home for so long - the others follow. The story of their journey through the countryside describes a magical, miniature world within our own real one. (9+)
