5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & excitement for children of all ages., 24 Sep 2001
This review is from: The Little Grey Men: A Story for the Young in Heart (Paperback)
From the first page you join the world of the stream, and all its occupants. It is funny, sad and exciting as you follow the adventures of three brothers (the last of the little folk)as they travel up stream to find their lost brother Cloudberry.
While it could be frightening in places for very small children, children from 5 - 95 are sure to love every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Am I the oldest reader............?, 27 Feb 2005
By sueb "sueb34" (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Little Grey Men: A Story for the Young in Heart (Paperback)
I sat enthralled exactly 46 years ago whilst Mrs Greenwood read this to her class of 9 year olds!
Since, I have read it to my son (who keeps a copy in his bathroom!!) to this day and last night I began reading it to his daughter whose eyes were like saucers.
This is an absolutely timeless tale. Unlike so many modern books, it teaches as well as entertains. Every page is packed with information about British flora and fauna - indeed, the elves' names are all flowers: Dodder, Sneezewort and Baldmoney.
Its a classic adventure tale of good against bad and the overcoming of insuperable odds to win through in the end.
I cannot recommend it highly enough - if I could give it more than 5 stars I surely would.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best children's books I've ever read, 3 July 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little Grey Men: A Story for the Young in Heart (Paperback)
This is quite simply one of the best children's books I've ever read-it is a magical tale of gnomes in search of their lost brother and the adventures they encounter along the way. I am delighted the book is about to be re-printed;this is long overdue in my view. I see that the sequel, "Down the Bright Stream," is also about to be re-printed and I've just pre-ordered that too, as I have not previously managed to obtain it.

Buy this book-you won't be disappointed !!

This book is a fairy tale adventure in the class of 'the hobbit' by Tolkien,and it is definitely for people of all ages ( for those who are young at heart) as the author says.
