I tend to remember that this book was much more about the locals outwitting the humans. "Little Bite, don't you recognize the Hill Bluffer? He's the government postman from Humrog to Wildwood Peak. We're going to mail your Shorty friend here to the Terror. Guaranteed delivery. Postage: five pounds of nails." In reality, it was a bit of both.
