This review is from: Goblin in the Bush (Gibblewort the Goblin) (Paperback)

This is the first of a series of seven adventures of a most repulsive and slightly stupid goblin, who wanders from Ireland to Australia. Lots of misadventures and misunderstandings! "Gibblewort" was a real discovery for me to include in storytellings on Australia for summer reading library programs, and I had children and parents ask about how to get their own copies.
