The Great International Gnome Festival

The Gnomes are fretful. It has been a long winter and, stuck in their burrow in the Swiss alps, they are starting to get on each other's nerves. What will Norman Blackthorn, their Great Leader, pull out of his cap to cheer them up and remind them of how they should be behaving? If you love Jan McCarthy's books, or if you haven't discovered her unique storytelling yet, you should definitely grab yourself a copy of this book, her most poignant yet.
