Tollins are nothing like the delicate fairies you might expect. These tiny creatures are tough as housericks, and they prove it across three big adventures. When evil plots threaten their world, the Tollins don't flutter away or hide behind flower petals. They fight back with explosive results. Each tale brings new dangers that would crush ordinary fairy folk, but Tollins thrive on the chaos. They face cliff-hanging moments and schemes designed to destroy them, yet they keep charging forward with attitude and determination. The occasional fairy does cross their path, usually getting squashed in the process. These little people live in a magical world, but they handle their problems with action rather than wishful thinking. Their adventures demand courage and quick thinking, qualities that separate them completely from their fragile fairy cousins. Don't make the mistake of calling them fairies to their faces.
