This is no ordinary "girl meets handsome Prince ... overcomes all obstacles ... and lives happily-ever-after" story. It's not set in a fairytale land, either. In fact, this story could just as easily be playing out in your back garden right now!
Explore the wonderful possibility of tiny people living at the bottom of Benjamin Peel's garden.
Our heroine Penelope meets the charming Prince Winkle when he rolls down a deadly ravine. He's just rescued a young boy called Colin from the clutches of a band of giants. So unfolds a story of romance, adventure and magic. But will it end happily for Penelope and the daring Prince Winkle? What will become of her mother? And where on earth is Popty Ping?!
This superb children's book, written in verse, aims to stimulate inquisitive young minds. It uses language that will develop a child's vocabulary and help them to understand just how amazing and powerful words can be. The beautiful illustrations bring the verses to life with thought-provoking depth.
A delightful book that any child will come back to again and again.
