We return to Chorleywood, home of the Tollins тАУ tiny creatures with wings who arenтАЩt fairies and are about as fragile as a house brick. In three thrilling stories, they will face the trials of armed invasion, radio technology and... amateur dramatics.
In тАЬRomeo and Beryl,тАЭ Sparkler discovers an old human book and decides to put on a play of a story that is filled with great love and even more shouting. At the same time, a new craze sweeps Chorleywood, as Dragonfly racing literally takes off.
In тАЬRadio,тАЭ the Dark Tollins of Dorset invade in force, with a housecat leading the charge. Sparkler, Wing, and Grunion must find a way to save themselves, and possibly the cat as well.
Finally, in тАЬBones,тАЭ the Tollins leave Chorleywood on a mission of mercy. The homes of the Dark Tollins are about to be blown up by humans! We will discover the importance of hot tea and toast in such desperate times. As well as jam, obviously. Once again, itтАЩs Sparkler and his band of Tollins to the rescue!
