Little People and a Lost World

When my son said this book told an "amazing story" and was fun to read, I decided I had to read it, too. I have to agree with him. The author has a wonderful and fast-paced style that conveys the excitement of the discovery of the Little People. The book also shows the politics and strong personalities of the scientific world. In addition to explaining the scientific importance of the find, the book also contains wonderful folklore about gnomes and others that adds to this fascinating story. I highly recommend it.
