Banish pesky goblins and reclaim your home and garden with this whimsical guide to fairy defense, now in hardcover.

Is your hen cottage plagued by foul goblins? Help is on the way! In the tradition of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl, Goblinproofing One’s Chicken Coop shows how to banish those pesky dark fairy creatures who are ready to thwart every last pleasure, be it gardening, country hikes, or even getting a good night’s sleep.

In this charming guide, fairy hunter Reginald Bakeley offers practical instructions to clear your home and garden of these unsettling inhabitants and banish them from your chicken coop and kitchen cupboard forever!

In Goblinproofing One’s Chicken Coop, readers will discover:

• Why a bustle in one’s hedgerow may be cause for alarm

• Why a garden fumigator may come in handy during evenings at the pub

• Why a toy merchant, a butcher, and a Freemason are among your best allies in the fight against the malicious fairies

Goblinproofing One’s Chicken Coop is the only complete manual on how to identify, track, defend, and destroy those bothersome brownies, goblins, dwarves, scheming flower fairies, and other nasty members of the fairy realm. Get the upper hand before they get your hen!
