Gibblewort the Goblin: The Summer Holiday Collection features the antics of Gibblewort, a nasty little Irish goblin. In the first tale, "Goblin in the Bush," Gibblewort gets fed up with the rain and damp of his homeland in Ireland and makes a move to Australia. Initially, he is thrilled with his new home, as sunny and dry as any goblin could hope for. However, once he encounters the local flora and fauna, things don’t go as planned, and he hastily retreats back to Ireland, where he feels safe and secure. Unfortunately for Gibblewort, his fellow goblins aren't pleased with his return and threaten to send him back to Australia if he doesn’t mend his ways.

The misadventures continue in "Goblin on the Reef." Gibblewort remains as nasty as ever, prompting his goblin friends to teach him a lesson. They pack him off to another part of Australia, this time to an even damper location: the Great Barrier Reef! Follow along with the hilarious escapades of Gibblewort as he encounters the unique creatures that inhabit this underwater world.
