Book description
More tall tales about tiny people from the bestselling author of THE
DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS - now in paperback with all new black and white
illustrations… But whatever you do, DON'T call them fairies!
We return to Chorleywood, home of the Tollins - tiny creatures with
wings who aren't fairies and are about as fragile as a house brick. In
three thrilling stories, they will face the trials of armed invasion,
radio technology and… amateur dramatics.
In “Romeo and Beryl,” Sparkler discovers an old human book and decides
to put on a play of a story that is filled with great love and even more
shouting. At the same time, a new craze sweeps Chorleywood, as Dragonfly
racing literally takes off.
In “Radio,” the Dark Tollins of Dorset invade in force, with a housecat
leading the charge. Sparkler, Wing, and Grunion must find a way to save
themselves, and possibly the cat as well.
Finally, in “Bones,” the Tollins leave Chorleywood on a mission of
mercy. The homes of the Dark Tollins are about to be blown up by humans!
We will discover the importance of hot tea and toast in such desperate
times. As well as jam, obviously. Once again, it's Sparkler and his band
of Tollins to the rescue! Born in London, Conn Iggulden read English
at London University and worked as a teacher for seven years before
becoming a full-time writer. He lives in Hertfordshire with his wife and
their children.
