More adventures of "The little grey men"; Dodder, Baldmoney, Cloudberry and Sneezewort. The book opens with the gnomes in their winter retreat. "The fire went out and it became very cold inside the tree. But the gnomes were as warm as a litter of puppoes. They all squeezed up, one against the other, and tucked the dead bracken bed around them and they snored and snored." "They are awakened by the appalling news that the Folly Brook is drying up and that they must move at once. So off they set in the Jeanie Deans to find a home where they will be really safe."
