Realm of RamionThis book contains all four of the following stories with full cooour illustrations: The Dim Daft DwarvesWhen the box of stardust landed in the magic cauldron there was a great explosion and the witch Griselda disappeared leaving Boris the skull with the dim daft dwarves who (after a month) started getting ideas. The Bands of EvilWhen the dim daft dwarves threw the boys into the magic cauldron, Griselda placed bands of crystal around their necks and wrists and sent them to get back her supper: when she received a huge caterpillar, a tiger and four cannibals she was not pleased. The Magic MagpieEvery night the magpie flew to the bedroom of the little princess and told her sad, sad stories, but when the boys and the rabbit Scrooey-Looey came to her rescue she learnt to laugh and began to grow again. The Cruel CountIn the family vault deep below the ruined tower the dead ancestors of Griselda stood in glass tanks, their flesh preserved in special fluid, but when Borris said the forbidden word beginning with L the Cruel Count broke out and set up a school where the discipline was very strict. |
