"222"
Hollow Stump Road - Nana & Pudge...
Nana is a jolly woman and she has enjoyed
taking care of her family since her marriage to Gramps 203 years ago.
Nana cooks for the family, which is almost a full-time job. Her
reputation as a cook is wide spread - her specialty being strudel and
hearth baked wheat bread. Nana samples a lot of her own wares. Nanna
also is known for her "Dandelion Punch"for which Gramps has
a real fondness.
Anyone fallen ill is nursed back to health
by Nana since she understands herbs and potions. The Grandchildren
love Nana and granddaughter, Pudge, has been helping Nana by washing
the cooking utensils in the river so that Nana has more time to bake
chocolate chip cookies. Nana is the rock and the anchor.
At 89 years, Pudge is a teen-ager of
sorts. She dreams of someday being a cheerleader but since
cheerleaders are tall and thin and Pudge is the opposite, Pudge has
been doing aerobics and is watching her weight. She is on a diet and
only eats chocolate chip cookies and yoghurt.
Pudge wants to look like the beautiful and
enchanting sorceress, Mergaine, the King's sister, but she know that
this is impossible.
Grandmother Nana is Pudge's best friend
and Pudge often confides in her. Nana counsels Pudge that she is
kind, gentle and loving and that she should focus on those good
qualities and not envy Mergain's beauty and magical powers. Nana also
reminds Pudge that she does have a red hat which is the only vanity
that gnomes are allowed.

Book Review - Fang
the Gnome
Author: Michael Greatrex Coney, Illustrator: Tim
Hildebrandt.
The issue that I just finished reading was 345
pages and is noted as being an Arthurian Fantasy. I did not think I
would enjoy this book, (something about the title) but found it to be
very entertaining. The writer's ideas about merging ages is
delightful! The gnome characters are unique and I believe anyone who
likes gnomes will enjoy this story.
