Description

It is a fresh new look for this hilarious story by the much-loved Dick King-Smith.

Long ago, in the cold lands of the North, there lived a troll named Ulf who had a very bad habit - he liked to eat fingers! Many, many men, women and children had found their hands a finger short thanks to the razor-sharp teeth of the Finger-eater. And who knows how many more might have suffered the same fate if it hadn't been for the actions of a resolute girl called Gudrun!

From the much-loved Dick King-Smith, author of children's classics such as The Sheep-Pig (filmed as "Babe").
