Hob the Elf

Fire and Light

Richard Moore

KEY SELLING POINTS
The second heart-warming story in the Hob the Elf trilogy, the sequel to Adventures Between Worlds.
A thought-provoking narrative with episodes of excitement and humour which explores the evolving
friendship between Hob and his human friends.
A highly original story, for ages 7-9, which has elements in common with C S Lewis’s Narnia.

“… it’s a matter of knowing the right questions to ask,” snapped Sergeant Batt. “We don’t want to discover
something that we can’t explain. It makes life complicated.”

Knowing what happens when elf light is thrown into goblin fire is useful, but it doesn’t solve all Hob’s
problems. Help comes when Seren, Queen of the Elves, rewards him with a powerful crystal. But the dragon is
looking for such treasure and he’ll soon be coming after the interfering elf.

Complications do arise when some of Hob’s friends become involved in the effort to save Thurmond Forest.
The strange goings on attract international media interest. Alvina and Jimmy are thrust into the limelight and
find it hard to keep their secrets.

For those who are, or ever have been eight and a half years old.

After working in mainstream primary education, Richard Moore became a Class Teacher in a Steiner Waldorf
School. In 1985 he helped with the founding of the Iona School in Nottingham, working there until his
retirement in 2020. His collection of plays, “Five Plays For Waldorf Festivals”, was published in 2004 by The
Steiner Schools Fellowship Publications (9781900169189).
