Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

This audio edition of Billy and the Minpins is narrated by actor Joel Fry (Cruella, Yesterday, Bank of Dave) and is bursting with fantabulous sound effects.

'But...but...who are you?' Little Billy asked.
'We are the Minpins,' the tiny man said, 'and we own this wood'.

Billy's mum says he must never go out through the garden gate and explore the dark forest beyond.

So, one day, that's exactly what he does!

There he meets the Minpins, tiny tree-dwelling people whose children are the size of matchsticks. They live in fear of the terrible, galloping GRUNCHER.

Will it gobble Billy too - or can he find a way to defeat the hungry beast?
