A selection of enchanting stories to read and share by one of the world's best-loved children's authors, Enid Blyton.

Ribby the Gnome has a very bad habit: he always borrows things and never brings them back! But when he takes a wizard's umbrella and doesn't return it, he's in for a horrible surprise. The umbrella is magic, and it is very angry!
