Fully grown, pocket people are from five to six inches tall. However, except their size, they're just like you and me. Some are fair, others are dark; some have blue eyes, others have brown eyes; some are fat, others are thin. They've long lived on Eldon where everything is smaller than on Earth, and most live there now. Usually Eldon and Earth are separate, but occasionally something happens and the two worlds touch for a moment. It was at such a moment that the pocket people came to New Mexico. They came riding the west wind, held aloft on wings of fire beneath a scarlet balloon. The pocket people fell from the sky near the Rio Grande in a small stretch of bosque. It was quite a jolt for them and changed their lives forever. They had much to learn and much to do to build a new life for themselves in a land ruled by giants. This is their story.
