Teddy's Holiday and the Goblin's Tale

On his holiday at Miss Frillypans’ boarding house, Teddy stumbles upon an old mine with a secret: a goblin trapped by fairy law, tirelessly seeking a lost magician’s necklace. This goblin, named Wartnob, cannot leave until he recovers the necklace, once an engagement gift from a magician to his beloved, which fatefully fell into the hands of the jealous Northern River God and was ultimately lost in the mine’s depths.

Unbeknownst to Wartnob, high above in the fairy realm, Ratspin – a lady goblin who gallantly rides the night skies on her trusty rat steed – harbours a longstanding affection for him. Their paths are destined to cross as Teddy, a simple holidaymaker, becomes entwined in a magical dilemma that spans the realms of fairies and goblins. Will Teddy be able to help Wartnob and Ratspin find the necklace and each other, or will the goblin’s quest keep him bound to the mine forever? Join Teddy on this enchanting adventure to see if he can unravel the threads of this mystical love story.
