	2 Mayne, William Hob and the Goblins Dorling Kindersley 1993 0-7513-7006-1 / 9780751370065 1st Edition Hardcover  Hardback with D/J in average condition, ex library book with minimal stampsbut first page removed. 1993 DK edition 1st. ladylisabooks website.From Publishers Weekly - Appearing in his first full-length novel, Hob, the benevolent house ghost who has previously appeared in the British author's picture books, here adopts a family moving into an old country house. Unbeknownst to Mr. and Mrs. Grimes, their new home, known as Fairy Ring Cottage, contains "a door to the goblin country." The children, Tom and Meg, can see Hob, and they also sense danger before their parents do. But, after a terrifying climax which chaotically and violently combines a goblin king and his goblin followers, a band of dwarves, a witch, a possessed bus and a stolen pot of magical gold, Mr. Grimes, too, recognizes the presence as well as the benefits of their whimsical, worry-wart and interestingly maternal house spirit. Each of the characters is fully believable, including the supernatural Hob (who, disarmingly, refers to himself in the third person: "That's what we want most.... A bit of normal: family round the fire, Hob in the hearth"). Mayne is remarkably deft at opening up a fantasy realm to readers of all ages through his playful prose, which twists and stretches to create sly humor, earnest sympathy and, at times, genuine darkness. Ages 8-11.  Price: 5.00 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
