Nonetheless, one senses something of a kinder, gentler Dahl, who nudges his readers to become observers, for “the greatest secrets are always hidden in unlikely places.” However, the religious overtones seem curiously out of place. Little Billy’s name, too, may prove a bit precious for some readers. Benson’s pen-and-ink crosshatched drawings with full-color washes are pleasing but not memorable, with the exception of the dramatic depictions of Billy and the swan. Although older readers will find the talepretty tame, the story-hour crowd may find it a pleasant diversion.
Little Billy strays into the forest, where he meets the Minpins – tiny people who live within the trees. The Minpins tell Billy about The Gruncher, who preys on them. So Billy embarks on a mission to rid the Minpins of their foe once and for all, and sets off – on the back of a swan – to confront The Gruncher. Annotation Little Billy enters the Forest of Sin and meets the Minpins, matchstick-sized people who live in tree cities besieged by the Smoke-Belching Gruncher whom Billy vows to destroy.
