Publisher's Synopsis
A young lad, Wink, is presented with one of five Buttons alleged to be endowed with magical powers, and inveigled into undertaking to seek out the remaining four Buttons which lie hidden within the perilous wild lands of Pendene Forest and its surrounds. His adventures bring him into contact with the strangest of strange creatures and situations. Will he succeed or be overcome by the likes of Scrimp the Scavenger; the nauseous Swiper the Viper; Sadie the Shady Lady? Can the Rinkydink be trusted or will the astute, well-finded Lynas and his lurcher Limpalong beat him in finding the Buttons? A wondrous feat of nature lures Wink into the clutches of the utterly despicable goblins, Gorak and Grundel. How will he escape a fate of torture and imprisonment? Seeking out the fifth and final Button proves to be the most difficult challenge yet, but fortuitously the retired wizard Wimbolin is persuaded to join Wink in the search. This is when things really begin to heat up! Will greed and self-interest triumph, or will the joint efforts of Wink and Wimbolin obtain the five Buttons and secure them for the benefit of all within Pendene? Here is mystery and magic in motion!
