It’s strange I never had a problem with GOBLINS until this book arrived at my door. It took three tries before DHL could get it to stay. It kept getting back on their truck and after it made it into the house it hid in the bookcase with THE POLAR EXPRESS. Finally, I was able to sit down with BRIAN FROUD’s GOBLINS!

In this edition, Froud has created paintings of the different GOBLINS to show us what they look like in the real world and this book seems to have notes written by one of the GOBLINS and ways to tell if you have an infestation of the little critters.

There is a virtual who’s who of GOBLINS as well as an almanac of the important days that may explain why certain things happen during the year. Be sure to keep this book at close quarters and keep a close check on it. There’s no telling what will happen if the GOBLINS happen to find a way into your house. The US edition is available from Harry N. Abrams.
