The Three Mulla-Mulgars

Three orphaned brothers. A forbidden journey. A world of magic and danger. Walter de la Mare's 1919 masterpiece follows Thumb, Thimble, and Nod, small furred creatures with enormous ears and longer tails, as they leave their crumbling home in the Forest of Munza-mulgar to find their lost uncle in the legendary Valleys of Tishnar. Their father has vanished chasing adventure; their mother is dead. All that remains is a promise, a handful of heirlooms, and the desperate hope that somewhere beyond the mountains lies a place where they might belong. What follows is a journey through a world both wondrous and perilous, where ancient enchantments slumber in forgotten corners and every shadow might hide either salvation or destruction. De la Mare writes with a poet's ear and a dreamer's logic, crafting prose that feels like remembering a story you never actually heard. The Three Mulla-Mulgars is for readers who believe that small things can contain vast courage, and that the truest adventures are those undertaken for love.
