Imelda and the Goblin King cover

Filled with inventiveness and beautiful art this is an unmissable story, now in paperback! Far away behind the hills a girl called Imelda lives beside a fairy forest. Every day she ventures into the forest to play with her fairy friends. But within the deepest, darkest depths of the trees lives the worst creature of all – the goblin king! When he kidnaps the Fairy Queen, the fairies call upon Imelda to help. Soon she has a cunning plan to turn the Goblin King into a worm and rid the forest of him for good...

Rooted in classic fairy tales, and accompanied by dazzling illustrations, this story shows how kindness and generosity win out against greed and selfishness. -- BookTrust
Enchantingly illustrated -- Wall Street Journal
Blending a 1970s palette with an aesthetic that feels right at home with contemporary indie comics, Smith makes an assured debut as she brings a fresh look to an old-fashioned story of fairies, goblins, and comeuppances. -- Publisher’s Weekly
