Which book was this?

[Irishgurl]

Classic book for children. By a male author with just initials. EE? AE? about last dwarves or pixies etc. It is driving me mad. It is probably a very obvious one but I just cannot remember it. Anyone know?

EH White?

Thank you but I have checked him. Not him. Search goes on.

Maybe last gnomes?

little grey men by BBC. its about gnomes they go looking for one of them who is lost?

by BB. not bbc

Yep. That is it. Many thanks. The wonders of Mumsnet !

The little grey men - the sequel is called down the bright stream.

One of my favourite books as a kid!
