Isle of Appleshire Series

Tommy is now a resident of Korwood Forest and although his family, like many of his species, are very social, they are known to travel long distances to visit others who live in heavily treed areas on the island. He is an English Nutter and, as you might not be knowledgeable about these little beings, I will fill you in on a little of what I know. When they are born, they are so tiny that they fit into half of a nut shell. In fact before they are born, the parents MUST have their shell prepared. They spend there time in the shell until they are big enough to wear it on their backs. This is to protect a large hump that holds their magical powers. They live in the hollows of trees which are often decorated with shiny objects that they find irresistible.
Tommy has a soft sculpted body with head and extremities of Prosculpt clay, mohair hair and green glass eyes. He wears a knit shirt and cotton checkered pants. From the top of his leaf green hat to the tips of his lizard skin shoes he is a wonder of tiny perfection.
