Laila And The Gnome

It was a matter of some urgency: a wolf was loose in the woods. And being loose in the woods, he could get into the garden."e;Whatever you do,"e; said Dad. "e;Don't go out the gate. You don't want the wolf to eat you."e;Laila went out the door, but the wolf was already in the garden."e;There you are!"e; he cried. "e;I was wondering where you got to."e;"e;What are you doing here?"e; she cried. "e;This is my garden."e;"e;Well,"e; said the wolf, "e;you're not in your garden. You're in my garden now."e;***Dreamy tomboy, Laila meets Cyril, a rebellious gnome and passes through a charmed gate into the Garden. Here she meets Mr Whizz and fulfils her dream to become a rider of cornies. When the shape-shifter Smarm and his army of loopy wolves capture her gnome friends and steal the magic strawbs, Laila and Cyril help the Mistress Dido win them back.
