Quimble Wood

By N.M. Bodecker and Bodecker

"There once were four quimbles in a box: Quilliam, Quilice, Quint and the unstoppable Quenelope, each wearing a tall, pointed hat, and each no bigger than your little finger." Their box fell out of a car where the road winds through the forest, "...and that's how the quimbles came to be in the woods." Thus begins the saga of the quimbles, the magical story of four little people's survival in the sildnerness. Suddenly they faced with the oldest of dilemmas: how to find or make all the daily necessities most people take for granted. On their lonely trek through the woods, each discovers his or her special talents: building, weaving, serching for food, and finding unlikely things in unlikely places. They learn to cope with cold and hunger, to work and plan together, to cry on occasion without being ashamed, and to keep going when they would rather give up.
