Book Overview
When climate change and human interference forces four gnomes to leave their beloved home, they embark on a long, thrilling adventure that takes them over land and sea in this thrilling sequel to the first Little Grey Men book. Sneezewort, Baldmoney, Dodder, and Cloudberry are the last gnomes in Britain. Life along the Folly Brook, where the gnomes live companionably with the birds and beasts, is wild and wet, just the way they like it. But one spring day, waking up from a long winter sleep, the gnomes are confronted by an inescapable fact: Their brook is drying up and will soon be uninhabitable. A sequel to BB's award-winning The Little Grey Men, this novel is about the gnomes' perilous and daring search for a new home. Warwickshire and the rest of their beloved country has been despoiled by men, and the gnomes must find another place as wild and wet as their home once was. Part fantasy, part ecological parable, The Little Grey Men Go Down the Bright Stream was first published in 1948 and remains as exciting, poignant, and far-seeing as ever.

A fantasy story about survival in the modern world.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I first discovered this book about fifteen ears ago at a garage sale. It is a charming story about a group of gnomes who are the last of their race and who must remain undiscovered and journey a great distance. The book has a Judas who betrays his friends. I liked this book because it was fantasy and because the author, like Tolkien, captures the essence of the human spirit and distills it in to other creatures. If you can find a copy read it to your kids. If you can't find a copy read to your kids anyway!
