About this book
In a whimsical land beyond the reach of the ordinary world live the Snergs—a merry, sturdy race 'only slightly taller than the average table'—and two runaway children who join them on a rollicking adventure through forests, castles, and comic perils. Charming, funny, and inventive, Wyke-Smith's fantasy is remembered above all as a direct influence on J. R. R. Tolkien, who acknowledged it as an inspiration for the hobbits. Delightful in its own right, it brims with warmth, humor, and imaginative wonder for young readers and old. A newly rediscovered treasure of children's fantasy, The Marvellous Land of Snergs is a joyful romp and a fascinating ancestor of Middle-earth.
