"Lobgob, the cleverest gnome in the Forest of Boland, invented the steam engine long before James Watt. The Forest of Boland Light Railway was the gnomes' pride and joy, making a pleasure-trip of their journey to and from the gold mines. They were happier than ever before... until, one Midwinter's Eve, a villainous attack was mounted by the neighbouring leprechauns, led by the wicked Shera Beg." One of BB's delightful children's novels.
