I am looking for a UK children’s book from the 70s/80s. The book was a hard cover and had very detailed illustrations. Almost similar in style to “look and search book.”
The story involved small men (elves) riding sparrows and other woodland animals fighting equally small monsters who were wearing grey uniforms (similar to storm troopers/nazis uniforms) who rode on bats and rats.
Thank you,
This is probably Trouble for Trumpets, or its sequel, Trumpets in Grumpetland, by Peter Dallas-Smith, illustrated by the amazing Peter Cross. You can find reproductions of some of the pages on the artist’s website here: https://petercrossart.com/books/trumpets/trouble-for-trumpets/
Thank you, Susan! That is amazing, it’s like finding a piece of my childhood. Thank you loganberry!
