The Return of Gibblewort the Goblin

By Victor Kelleher About · Illustrated by Stephen Michael King About

Blither and Blather! Gibblewort is a nasty little Irish goblin who can think of nothing better than playing horrible tricks on his friends and snacking on mothballs. But when he desperately wants to leave sunny Australia and return to boggy old Ireland, his plans are turned upside down. Whether he’s cuddled by a python in the rainforest, caged with a love-struck chimp in the Zoo or strapped to a runaway snowboard in the Snowy Mountains, trouble sticks to Gibblewort like toe fungus.
