Synopsis
The miner's work is hard, so they need their tasty lunchtime pasties. When new recruit Thomas shares his meal with a strange, tiny miner, he is rewarded by being granted a wish. But soon, more strange, tiny miners appear, each of them demanding food - and no pasty is large enough to satisfy their hunger. Thomas regrets his kidness, but when he and the miners face an even bigger problem; it seems that his new friends may just hold the answer...With an engaging story told in short chapters, and illustrations in black and white and colour on every double-page spread, this short novel is ideal for newly confident readers.

Review
"Thomas and the Tinners effortlesly combines plot, dialogue and descriptions into a complete unity. The prose is rich and rhythmic, and reads well aloud. Here is a rewarding story which never patronises its young audience. Junior Education; Paton Walsh is a master storyteller whose characters spring off the page and into life. She is a wonderful ambassador for children's books. Thomas and the Tinners (offers) a beautiful insight into a lost world. Oxford Times;... Marvellously evocative... Young Book Trust News; This Cornish tale reads like poetry and is redolent of twilit storytelling sessions. Time Out
