Winner of the Carnegie Medal award in 1942.

The last four gnomes in Britain live by a Warwickshire brook. But when one of them decides to go and explore and doesn't return, it's up to the remaining three to build a boat and set out to find him. This is the story of the gnomes' epic journey in search of Cloudberry and is set against the background of the English countryside, beginning in spring, continuing through summer, and concluding in autumn, when the first frosts are starting to arrive.

First published in 1942, this book is still fondly remembered and well-loved by readers everywhere.

This edition includes the original black and white illustrations by the author.
