About This Book

A community of very small people lives beneath a rose bush, making homes from discarded objects such as an old shoe, a hat, a teapot and a cigar box. The narrative presents a gallery of vividly drawn personalities—a kindly leader, a doctor, a cook, soldiers, craftsmen and various eccentrics—and follows their resourceful domestic life: cooking, repairing, gardening, storing food, and helping nearby animals. Episodic tales mix gentle humor with small-scale adventures and occasional mishaps as they trade with larger creatures, mount rescues, and celebrate seasonal events, all emphasizing cooperation, ingenuity, and everyday routines.
