Oh it does! I wish I could make sense of it better since it lends a lovely unique voice to the narrative. Sadly I seem to lack the brain to handle it without some SERIOUS confusion. So weird 🤣

I wanted to love this book but the narrative style (only letters/telegrams/etc) was too jarring for me. I tend to avoid books with that style with only a few exceptions (mostly classics like Dracula) because it takes some SERIOUS concentration and a notepad for me to keep track of details 🤣

Pity, there are so many books out there with that style that are amazing from what I hear but my poor brain just does not compute!

THAT’S the book I was thinking of! I saw it at a relative’s house years ago and have been looking for it ever since!

Gnomes by Will Hguyen and Tolkien Maker of Middle Earth are our coffee table currents! I also have a few LotR film companions, a Vikings companion, and three classic fairytale books from when I was a child (Gorgeous paintings!)
