There have been stories of the 'little people' - pixies, fairies, call them what you will - ever since the world began. Whispered rumours are all that they amount to, until a twelve year-old child discovers the truth, hidden away among briars and brambles. The truth is strange and wild - and sometimes deadly. This is the story of Midge, abandoned with her eccentric uncle during the holidays, and her discovery of the Various. Their existence has been kept secret since the beginning of time, but when their world begins to clash with that of human beings, their livelihood is threatened with extinction. A compelling tale of extraordinary tribes who struggle for survival in the land of the human giants - you may even be tempted to seek them out for yourself . . . With great reviews from the UK and from the stunning David Fickling Books list, this is a wonderfully imaginative story of love and loyalty, and is the first in a powerful trilogy. This 2004 Corgi Paperback is in very good condition. ISBN: 9780552548588 SKU: 1479967 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book.
