"In this far-fetched fairy tale, a plucky little girl named Gremlin and
her brother, Zeppelin, leave their childhood home - a woodsman’s cottage,
of course - in the kingdom of Etaoin and set out to see the world.
Clambering through an enchanted forest and navigating pirate-infested
seas en route to the Royal Palace (where a drastic change of
circumstance awaits), they encounter a host of quirky characters beyond
anything the Brothers Grimm ever imagined. Yes, there are knights (good
and evil), a giant, and the requisite fairy godmother. But there’s also
an inn full of doom-and-gloom beatniks, a peevish wombat, a poet whose
limericks probe the meaning of life, and a flightless parrot who spouts
Latin. Anything but a fainthearted waif, Gremlin takes surprises and
setbacks in stride, retaining her innocence and good humor all the
while."
