This is a collection of stories about Boggarts, a lesser known magical people who love singing, dancing and fun. Such exuberance often leads Boggarts into the mischief that gets them their bad name among people. Mills sets out to redeem the reputation of the Boggarts in these four modern folk tales. In 'Boggart Hole Clough', a man who refuses to believe in Boggarts builds a house on enchanted land and soon gets more than he bargained for. As Boggart activity increases, he gets more and more worked up, Basil Fawlty-style, and the story reaches a wonderfully witty conclusion. In 'Boggart Farm' a mysterious bundle of rags hangs form the kitchen door, with a fascinating story behind it, 'Bogart Rescue' is about a little Boggart boy who saves a mighty Duke, and 'Boggarts Underground' sees Thomas, a man almost as keen on merrymaking as the Boggarts, join their revels for a night. The understated humour in the stories makes them all the more enjoyable. Boggarts of Britain is ideal for those with an interest in 'ghoulies and ghaisties', and the large type makes it accessible to younger children. (Kirkus UK)
