In common with all children of his age, Arthur is fascinated by his grandmother's bedtime stories.  In his dreams, these stories come to life and he finds himself in a fabulous country populated by strange and mysterious people.  But what if these were more than just fairy tales?   What if they were true?   In a book of spells belonging to his grandfather, Arthur finds several clues that point to the existence of a treasure in his own garden.  Excitedly, Arthur begins his search for the lost treasure and can hardly believe what he discovers: a world invisible to the naked eye, inhabited by minuscule beings called the Minimoys...
