"Mundus Grundy" by Kingsley L. Dennis is a delightful book giving us insights into the Kingdom of Gnomes. Thanks to the author, we are able to understand why we have never seen a running gnome, or why if we have seen one, it has always been a stone gnome. Also, the book explains why stone gnomes have the tendency to appear at a time when we are recovering from some unexpected troubles. I strongly suspect that it was the mysterious Monroe, described by Dennis in his previous book ("Meeting Monroe"), who provided the secret oath that allowed the author to pass through the Blue Portal into the Octagonal Lodge of the Kingdom of Gnomes. Over there the author met the King Mundus Grundy and Farnuk Tam, the self-appointed king of rubber pot-bellied goblins. Both Mundus and Farnuk are shown on the cover of the book. Among the other inhabitants of Grundusland are Bodel the imp, Kluth the djinn, winged Spiritely Neem, sun-deva Veeza, and others. Definitively, "Mundus Grundy" would make a fantastic comic strip. Although the book is listed as belonging to the category of "juvenile fiction", I strongly recommend it for readers of all ages. (By Roman on September 26, 2015)
