Really old falling-apart books with no covers
scene
from the story
Alexander Woyte and the
GoblinsThe headquarters of the Old Wessex Division of the goblins was in the tunnels beneath the old bookshop in Petersfield.
If you went into the dark forgotten corners of the shop, and moved aside the dusty bookcase with the really old falling-apart books with no covers, which were hardly ever sold, you might, if you looked carefully, see the outline of a secret door which led into tunnels underground. The goblins liked living there because, if they got bored at night, they could sneak upstairs and "borrow" some of the old books. They didn't like modern writers. They even regarded Jane Austen as modern.
