"You may not have heard of Goggle Gumphie before so I will tell you about him. He lives with his Mummy and Daddy, Mr. and Mrs. Gumphie, on the Isle of Troodle. He is not a bit like you to look at - that is because he is a Troodlin - but he is very sweet. Now you might think that Goggle is rather an odd name, but when you look at his enormous goggly eyes you will see why Mummy and Daddy Gumphie gave it to him..." So begins "The Adventures of Goggle Gumphie." These delightful English children's stories were originally told by Jean Robson to her own children over forty years ago. They have now been collected and published in this edition for all to enjoy.
