Seller's Description:
New in new dust jacket. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 32 p. Audience: Children/juvenile. Published in 1996, The White Goblin is a sequel and companion to Ul de Rico s 1977 classic, The Rainbow Goblins. It shifts from a simple fairy tale to a more complex, moralistic eco-fable featuring the "eighth goblin". THE PLOT: Banishment: Long before the events of the first book, the White Goblin was banished by his seven "rainbow" brothers to the colorless, icy wastes of the North. DISCOVERY: After years of isolation, he learns of his brothers' defeat and ventures out to experience color. He discovers the Cave Goblins, a group of colorless beings living harmoniously underground. INDUSTRIALIZATION & GREED: The White Goblin persuades the Cave Goblins to follow him to the surface to feast on nature's colors. Overcome by greed, they build massive cities and industrial plants to process and consume these colors. ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE: Their consumption causes a global eco-disaster, turning the world gray and lifeless. The White Goblin loses control over the. society he helped create. RESOLUTION: Disillusioned, the White Goblin retreats back to his northern glacier. On the surface, the Cave Goblins' greed leads to wars and a cataclysmic "tearing" of the earth. Only a small group survives, rediscovering the vital importance of nature and color through their memories, eventually allowing nature to flourish once again. AMAZING ILLUSTRATIONS!
