  • The Gremlins

    Roald Dahl, Artists And Writers Guild

    Hardcover (Dark Horse, Sept. 12, 2006)
    Published in 1943 and long unavailable, Dark Horse Books is proud to present this landmark book from the author of such beloved tales as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and Matilda. Digitally restored, this remarkable presentation of Dahl's classic story, lavishly illustrated by the artists of the Walt Disney Studios, will delight readers of all ages! The Gremlins is the story of Gus, a British World War II fighter pilot, who during the Battle of Britain turned to look out on the wing of his plane only to see an amazing sight: a little man, no more than six inches tall with horns growing from his head, drilling a hole in the plane's wing. Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin, and what happened after that would change the war, and the world, forever. Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins), the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over 60 years.

  • Gremlins!

    Mark Cheatham

    Library Binding (PowerKids Press, Jan. 1, 2014)
    Tales of little, magical and mischievous people have been around for centuries, including Irish legends of leprechauns and Scandinavian stories of elves and dwarves. The stories of gremlins seem to have their origins in these old myths, but they came to focus during World War II, when airplane pilots began to blame problems with their airplanes on these tiny creatures and their tools. Young readers will enjoy learning more of these magical beings as they read the comic-book styled text and illustrations.

Alas, the Little People are not strong on gadgetry, and they have had to while away the centuries of their youth, living for the day when they could get off this god forsaken mudball, this most benighted, desolate--and boring!--planetary slum in the Known Universe.At last, the time has come.All they need now is a human--a young one will do--to help them hijack a Shuttle to take them to where their rescue awaits. And that shouldn't be too hard, for what All-American boy could resist giving a hand to a friendly leprechaun?At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
