Product Description
It's Peter Pan with attitude as Conn Iggulden, creator of the phenomenal bestseller The Dangerous Book for Boys, presents three big adventures about very little people…
“Tollins are also a lot less fragile than fairies. In fact, the word 'fragile' can't really be used about them at all. They are about as fragile as a housebrick…"
In these three tales, Conn Iggulden explores the explosive, magical and adventurous world of the Tollins, all delightfully illustrated by Lizzy Duncan. Complete with thrilling cliff-hangers, evil plots, derring-do and even the odd fairy (usually squashed), this is the book every boy reader has been waiting for. You’ve met Tinkerbell – now get ready to meet little people as you have never known them before. Just don't ever call them fairies…

I am a ten year old girl. The books I'm into are the Harry Potter series and Jacqueline Wilson's books. So I did wonder why my mum thought I would like this book with its big writing and lots of pictures it looked a bit young for me. But I really enjoyed the story, the Tollins remind me of Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men. They are very curious about everything and do daft things. So if you're looking for a book to read for a journey, a story that will make you laugh, then try this.

A real imagination grabber for the under tens. My Daughter's feedback was "really really good" and it's the fastest I've seen her plough through a book in quite some time. From what I've gleaned from conversations with her during the ad-breaks in Ben Ten etc, it's a great story with some "exciting bits", a "confusing bit" and a "really nice story", which whilst not exactly the most in-depth of reviews is positively statesman like coming from a very active seven year old. According to her it's much recommended.

(What's this?)
OK, it's not going to win a literary prize, but if you want a humorous fairy-inspired book for boys, this will do nicely. With fireworks, capture, escape, a little dash of romance, and a few squashed fairies, this has all it needs to keep the little ones amused.
OK, so there's no character development - it's a short book. And yes, it's silly. But that's kind of the point. You don't need to pay much attention, as most of the entertainment is less about the plot and more about the slapstick violence that explode or drench the Tollins. For all that it's listed as 3 books, they're so short that they're really more chapters.
My kids enjoyed being read this, and I'm sure yours will too. An adult reading it to them may be amused, too.

Not a Conn at all!
This is as far as I am aware Conn's first foray into Children's literature. It looks like a short novel, but is really three slightly connected tales - bedtime stories really. Read more
