Dodder, Baldmoney, Cloudberry, and Sneezewort are found tucked up in their cosy home, next to the Folly, for winter. But, when they're awakened from their sleep with the news that the Folly is drying up, they pack up their belongings and head off in their boat to find a new home where they can be safe. Along the way, they face many dangers.

Dodder, Baldmoney, Cloudberry, and Sneezewort are the last four gnomes in Britain and were first introduced to us in the Carnegie Medal-winning book, The Little Grey Men. In this charming book their story continues and we find them tucked up in their cosy home, next to the Folly, for winter. But when they're awakened from their sleep with the terrible news that the Folly is drying up, they must pack up their belongings and head off in their boat, the Jeanie Deans, to find a new home where they can be safe once again. Along the way they face many dangers and their journey is sometimes perilous and packed with adventure.

'B.B.' was born as D. J. Watkins-Pitchford in 1905 in Northamptonshire. He studied at the Royal College of Art and was for many years the art master at Rugby School. He has written many books for both children and adults, all of which reflect his naturalist's knowledge and passion for the countryside. The Little Grey Men and its sequel, Down the Bright Stream, are two of his most well-known and best-loved books and in 1942 The Little Grey Men won the prestigious Carnegie Medal.
