This is the intriguing story of garden gnomes and how they have come to reside in the flowerbeds of gardens across Britain. Originating in Europe, gnomes made the leap across the channel in the nineteenth century, where they were welcomed warmly by wealthy Brits who saw them as the must-have garden accessory. But the fortunes of the humble gnome were not to last, and they soon found themselves sneered at by serious gardeners. Turned away from fashionable gardens, the little gnomes found a friend in many a working class gardener, who adopted them in increasing numbers, and in a variety of humorous poses. Today, gnomes are as popular with the masses as ever, and this entertaining illustrated history will appeal to those who love, and hate, these small bearded characters.

Nothing seemed to stop the little monsters. I shot a second time, wounding or killing another, and then dropped the gun to the ground. I pulled a slender blade from under my belt and whipped it at the little men. Another couple of strikes against my legs brought me level with the filthy floor of the alley, my fine clothes being soiled by the trash of the Big City -- and although I sliced and diced deeply into the bodies of several of my attackers, I knew that I was doomed to lose this particular battle in the end. There were just too many of them: they would either kill or severely injure me. Is this how The Phantom meets his end?

Pumpkintown Perils Volume 1: Terrible Trolls, Naughty Gnomes, & Homicidal Humans Living near a village of gnomes in the enchanted forest called Jagged Wood, Wanda Tempest owns a magic supply shop, practices witchcraft, drinks hard liquor, and does her best to keep peace with the local two-thousand pound Wood Trolls. She also happens to be a promising, if only part-time, Private Investigator. She’s talented, attractive, and has earned the respect and admiration of the equally talented, though far less striking, Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock, a tobacco-tainted, lascivious, and loud-mouthed leprechaun. Sam's crazy about Wanda… she’s crazy about her cat-food-hating whiskered companion, Jinxy. Join this formidable, if mismatched, crime-solving duo, as they tackle mysteries ranging from the suspiciously scandalous to the supernaturally strange. Tormented talking trees, naughty gnomes, terrible trolls, and homicidal humans will keep Wanda and Sam fighting for justice, and their very lives. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 2: Vicious Vampires, Poison Pumpkins, & Wicked Werewolves Vampires in Pumpkintown? Nobody has seen any of the damn bloodsuckers around for nearly a hundred years. But when a gorgeous gnome girl is found dead in a ditch near Nightshade Lake with vampire wounds deep in her neck, Wanda and Sam must discover the truth. It's also time for Pumpkintown's world-famous annual Pumpkin Festival but this year the food has been poisoned and there's also an anonymous assassin determined to kill every last leprechaun alive. As if all that wasn't enough, a mysterious white werewolf was seen stalking the Jagged Wood outside of Wanda's window while the local Wood Trolls are marching for war. There's a big bad moon rising over Pumpkintown and it's up to Wanda, Sam, Amber, Alice, and Jinxy to save the day. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 3: Grungy Goblins, Godlike Giants, & Magic Mushrooms The magical misadventures of wild witch Wanda Tempest and her younger twin sisters along with the legendary leprechaun Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock continue in the third volume of madhouse mysteries. Tenacious trolls, godlike giants, talking trees, and grungy goblins will keep Wanda and her team of crossbow-carrying gnomes busy from dusk until dawn. Volume 3 focuses on the suspenseful story of the wicked Wood Giant Brownbeard and Wanda's midnight to morning journey through the enchanted and jeopardous Jagged Wood. As always, Aunt Hazel and Jinxy make appearances to keep the fun times flowing. New magic, new enemies, and a new exciting experience in the world of Pumpkintown await!

The touching story of a child getting to know his grandfather, an Italian immigrant living in Belgium. 11-year-old Romeo thinks of his grandfather as nothing but an "old pain-in-the-butt." So when he finds out that he's going to have to spend a few days with him at his crumbling old house, without even a TV to keep him entertained... well, it's his idea of hell. But there are some surprises in store for Romeo during his visit. He changes his mind about a few things, perhaps thanks to his grandfather's neighbor, Lucy, who tells him about her own "nono," and shows him how a spoil tip can be a thing of beauty. Or perhaps it's thanks to Romeo's dad, who speaks for the first time about his childhood relationship with his father. But it's mostly thanks to Ottavio who, beneath his old, grouchy exterior, conceals the hard life he has led, full of suffering and sacrifice. It is a life the 11-year-old Romeo finds hard to comprehend, but which gives him a deeper understanding of someone from another century. It started off as just a short holiday to a grey Belgian town. But this holiday turns into an opportunity for three generations of men to lift the silence that surrounds them. A touching story about Italian immigration, coal mining, communication between the generations and the difficultly of opening up when you've spent your whole life in silence.
