The trolls’ intended method of revenge is to set the gnome dwelling on fire, and each member of the troll family marches toward the gnomes’ household, memorably chanting “burn, burn, burn” in unison. When the father gnome frees the trapped bear cub they had intended to have for their supper, the trolls resolve to get their revenge. In the same forest live a family of trolls: a large and stupid father troll, a somewhat more intelligent mother troll (who wears a snake in her hair and smokes a cigar), their two bumbling older sons and a young troll child affectionately called "Runt". Tor is about to marry his fiancée Lisa, and the gnomes are busy decorating and preparing for the wedding. The family consists of a father, mother, grandfather, older son Tor, and a set of young twins, Im and Impy. The movie starts by introducing gnomes in general, and a particular family of forest gnomes who live together in a home under a tree. ![]() Several years after this film was released, the television series, The World of David the Gnome was created, based on the same book.

Gnomes is an American 1980 hour-long animated TV special, based on the book of the same name by Dutch writer Wil Huygen and illustrator Rien Poortvliet. ![]()

The Mystery of the Blue Train is one of my favourite Poirot mysteries, partly due to the setting, and partly because the characters and their behaviour are interesting (and often amusing). Though if one can watch them without thinking of the Christie originals, they’re often quite fun – if slightly preposterous. The most recent of these TV adaptations have generally deviated quite a lot from Christie’s originals, to the extent of changing characters’ motivations and thus removing from the plots essential justification for the murder. I re-read this title recently – one of Christie’s early Poirot mysteries – after having watched the ITV version starring David Suchet. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is also notable for containing a vagueness uncharacteristic of many short story writers its narrator leaves it up to the reader to imagine many of the town’s details and characters.

Although the ubiquitous Harry Potter has dominated mass media to a far greater extent, when The Amber Spyglass won not only the Whitbread Award for best children's novel and the book of the year for adults in 2001, even the general public began to take notice.
