The fourth installment in the The Saga of Noggin the Nog series, it’s short and it’s a story so again I’m claiming that it counts for these purposes. I loved all of the adventures of the Norse King Noggin and his various Isle of Lewis chessmen-inspired friends (and main enemy Nogbad, boo, hiss), but this one which focuses on his encounter with a race of little people who live under a nearby hill is a particular favourite because I also loved stories about little people such as The Borrowers when I was a little person. The detailed endpapers of the original editions are worth a long browse.
