The Book Of Brownies (The Enchanted World) - Plot & Excerpts
The sea was still very calm. Hop looked all round. Then he pointed excitedly to the left. ‘Look!’ he cried. ‘Land!’ Skip and Jump looked. ‘An island!’ said Skip. ‘I wonder who lives there.’ ‘That’s a very grand castle on the top of that hill,’ said Jump. ‘Someone grand must live there, I think.’ ‘Well, it isn’t a very big island,’ said Hop. ‘What about landing, and seeing if we can find anyone and get something to eat?’ Just as he said that, the table-boat changed its course and floated with the tide towards the island. ‘Good!’ said Skip, ‘The boat thinks it would like to visit there!’ And he patted the table kindly. As they floated nearer they saw that there were trees near the edge of the sea, and directly behind them rose the steep hill on the top of which was set the castle. It was built of red stone, and gleamed oddly in the setting sun. ‘I don’t much like the look of it,’ said Hop suddenly.
