LANCASHIRE EVENING POST

Pip and Flora are running away from the Sunny Bay Home for
Superfluous and Accidentally Parentless Children when they discover
the Marvellous Land of Snergs. Here they befriend forgetful
but lovable snerg, Gorbo. He will lead them home – if they
can decide where home really is, and if Gorbo can remember how to
get there.

• Widely recognised as the inspiration for The Hobbit,
  a forgotten classic from 1927 is updated and brought beautifully
  back to life by acclaimed children’s writer Veronica Cossanteli,
  supported by the family of the original author, E. A. Wyke-Smith.
• Gorgeous cover and interior illustrations
  by Melissa Castrillon.
