Nice pictures. the story sounds intriguing! Talk about little people, today I just bought the whole set of The Borrowers, have you read it? I read the first book when I was a kid and actually have the set in Thai but I bought English version because of the illustrations. May blog about this books' illustrations later. Oh! I've just got your postcard, love it! I usually use postcard for bookmarking. I have to find a spooky book to match this card! Thanks! :-D I looked at the link.

Interesting! Too bad there's not inside page to see in Amazon. I want to see the illustrations! So the book is some kind of Fairy tale fiction?
