comment |
The Forest of Boland Light Railway Steampunk fantasy novel by Denys Watkins-Pitchford, who wrote under the name BB and illustrated under his real name. It was published in 1955 by Eyre & Spottiswoode.A community of gnomes build the first steam locomotive to transport the miners to work, and return with larger quantities of gold. Everything goes well until a group of wicked goblins decide to steal the train and put the railway out of business.The novel is written to function as a prequel to The Little Grey Men Series, although is not typically listed as being a part of that series. |

Ripped from the Headlines |
| | Forest of Boland Light Railway / int_1616e13 |
comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The membership of the gnomes' part time militia is a mundane example of where Art Imitates Life. BB had served with Dad's Army as a coastal gunner during the war, alongside men exempt from regular military service. The miners, tailors and industrial workers in the Gnome Guard would have been considered reserved occupations in Real Life. |

Anachronism Stew: The story takes place before James Watt saw a kettle boil, meaning the events occurred during the 18th century or earlier. Yet it features a locomotive resembling those of the late 19th century and a policeman who wears a standard 1950s uniform. |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder: They stand less than the height of the book, and they all have unusual names like Lobgob, Snurt or Gurtweed. |

Railroad Employee Roundhouse: Lobgob is the star of the book because he drives the train, but Bumbletummy the station master, Snurt the signalman and Sneezerod the ticket inspector are important supporting characters. |

comment |
Little People: The gnomes have similarities to dwarves and Stoorish Hobbits. They are a peaceful race who live in a town protected by a river, smoke pipes, love food and liquor, and are skilled shipbuilders. |

Mildly Military: The gnomes have a part time militia, and randomly call up individuals for guard duty by picking their name from a drum. Known members include Spittlewick, Spruewort, Boombillywheel, Cudwort, Boneshanks, Gumption, Bedpod, Tinker the Tailor, Bumdumple, and Pootle the Postman. |

Steam Never Dies: In the final chapter it is hinted that the gnomes are planning to extend the line to neighboring settlements, and build a second, more powerful steam locomotive to cope with the increased traffic. |

Beware the Nice Ones: The Cowsies do not interfere with the affairs of the other forest dwellers, but can shift to Let's Get Dangerous! if they are provoked. |
