Goblins
Author: Stephen Currie
Publisher: Capstone
ISBN: 1601523602
Category : Goblins
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
A mainstay of folklore and common even in modern literature, goblins vary in temperament and in their attitudes toward other beings. In some stories they are angry and malevolent; in others they are more of an annoyance, disturbing humans in their daily lives as often and as spectacularly as possible. In either case, goblins have long held a place in human stories and imagination.
