Description

Deep within a mountain kingdom live three curious goblins—Red‑Cap, Blue‑Cap and Yellow‑Cap—who have only ever known the safety of their father's rule. When Old Black‑Cap tasks them with retrieving a stolen red feather, the brothers step through a rabbit hole into the vast outside world. Their first trial is a sudden tumble inside a mysterious white sphere that rolls them down a stream, where a kindly water‑rat rescues Red‑Cap and points the trio toward a hidden clue in a tree.

The clue—a golden message—directs them to a dark forest and a glittering fence marked “Tom Tiddler’s Ground.” Tempted by the promise of gold and silver, the goblins seize the treasure only to be caught by a giant and imprisoned in a pantry. Using quick wit, they discover an unlocked window and slip away, clutching a sack of loot as they flee. Their daring escape sets the stage for the next phase of their quest, promising more wonder and danger ahead.
