Where do all the lost pins go? Down to the realm of the Pin Elves, of course, where a boy is taken prisoner, pursued, trapped, and swept into a nonsense adventure among gnomes.

Charles Lee Sleight's 1897 book is a whimsical fantasy for children. Playful, imaginative, charming. Read it for a genial Victorian nursery tale that answers the age-old question of where lost pins vanish to, with a boy's comic adventures in a tiny hidden kingdom of elves and gnomes.
