Synopsis
The Minpins is a fairy tale by Roald Dahl, published posthumously in 1991. Intended for children 3-8, this is a great story for reading outloud. It is one of Dahl's only picture books and the story has many satisying rhymes: "Beware! Beware! The Forest of Sin! None come out, but many go in!" illustrations by Patrick Benson "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
