I was talking with friends yesterday about books we read as children, of course the old favourites such as Enid Blyton were mentioned. Then we moved on to slightly more obscure territory, such as Elisabeth Beresford's The Secret Railway and Helen Cresswell's Jumbo Spencer.
But one series of books got us all stumped as to the name or author. We remembered the books, but very little else. We wondered if anyone on this forum remembers the books at all?
What we can remember is they were aimed at nine to eleven year olds roughly and written, we believe, around about 1976, although they could have been written earlier.
The stories were in similar vain to the Borrowers series. However, this series was set in a garden railway and the whole network was run by little, tiny people. The only one who could see these people was the little boy of the house, whom liked to go and play with them.
I don't know if the books were released anywhere else, except the UK.
I know it's a bit of an obscure thing to be asking about, but it is driving us up the wall, so for the sake of our sanity, I thought I would ask (although our sanity is questionable at the best of times
).
Thank you in advance.
