Description

The story follows a young boy named Billy who, despite his mother's warnings, ventures into the forest where he meets the Minpins, tiny tree-dwelling people. Billy learns of the terrible Gruncher who terrorizes the Minpins, and together, they hatch a plan to rid the forest of the monster once and for all. This edition is illustrated in full color by Quentin Blake for the first time. As Billy explores the dark forest beyond his garden gate, he encounters the Minpins, whose children are the size of matchsticks and who live in fear of the galloping Gruncher. Will Billy be the next victim, or can he find a way to defeat the hungry beast?
