The Little Grey Men: A Story for the Young in Heart

The last four gnomes in Britain live by a Warwickshire brook. When one of them decides to go and explore and doesn't return, it's up to the remaining three to build a boat and set out to find him. This is the story of the gnome's epic journey in search of Cloudberry and is set against the background of the English countryside, beginning in spring, continuing through summer, and concluding in autumn, when the first frosts are starting to arrive.First published in 1942 by Denys Watkins-Pitchford under his penname "B.B.," readers young and old alike still cherish Watkins-Pitchford's classic.
