Food constantly disappears from the kitchen, and nails disappear from the garage. There are missing handkerchiefs, hairpins and pins in the rooms... Who does this? Little brownies? Gnomes? Or maybe elves? These are MINERS! A wonderful story about little miner people who live next to us and little by little “borrow” different things. Behind the old clock live the Chimes, near the fireplace there are the Fireplace Chimes, and there are also Harpsichords, Washbasins, and even Zakhomutniki. The main thing for them is no contact with people. But one day the little miner Arrietta from the Kurant family breaks the rule... Maybe that’s why her family had to look for another home?
