Little German Gnome : Artful Options : 9781734859607 : 1734859601 : 01 Jun 2020 : A sister and brother, visiting their grandparents' house, wander into the dark, dangerous woods-to discover that kind, loving creatures are looking out for them. One of them is the Little Kobold named Albrecht. Kobolds are small forest gnomes who secretly help the humans in their valley. He rescues Annika and Martin and brings them to shelter with his family in their magical oak tree home. They are welcomed and protected, but the Green Witch waits outside, and she seems angry! The Kobolds, along with their animal friends and the Green Witch, a protector of the environment with magical powers, show the children how creatures can live in harmony with nature and one another. This delightful tale, set in a mountain forest in southern Germany, is a modern fantasy reminiscent of classic fairy tales.
