Playalore, the play spirit of the dwarfs, makes them laugh and skip, frolic and tease, tumble and bumble. When Mr Miserly uses a magic potion to banish her, the dwarfs lose their merriment and work hard, harder, hardest in Mr Miserly's gold mine. This makes Mr Miserly very happy, but the elves and all the other creatures of the forest and fields become sad and lonesome. It takes the special skill of the Elfin Queen Mother, together with the great efforts of Mr Miserly's cat and all the other creatures, to find Playalore again. But does this break the evil spell and do the dwarfs regain their merriment? This first title, Playalore, launches The Cat Series, a number of stories written for 6 to 9 year olds.
