Gibblewort the Goblin: The Winter Escape Collection by Victor Kelleher brings to life the chaotic adventures of everyone's favourite mischief-making goblin.

In 'Goblin at the Zoo', Gibblewort wakes up at the zoo and mistakenly believes he's in the deepest, darkest Africa. Seeking safety, he squeezes into what he thinks is a safe cage, only to become the object of affection for a female chimpanzee! Despite his repeated attempts to escape, poor Gibblewort finds himself being thrown, kicked, tossed, shaken, and even electrocuted back into the chimps' enclosure and into the waiting arms of Daisy, the long-haired she-chimp. How will our nasty little goblin get out of this predicament?

In 'Goblin in the Snow', Gibblewort's antics are driving his goblin mates up the wall, so they decide to send him on a winter holiday to Austria. However, a last-minute mix-up lands him in the Snowy Mountains of Australia during ski season instead. With speeding snowboards, giant snowballs, and even talking fish, trouble follows Gibblewort wherever he goes!
