Little Tatatuck is a gnome who dreams of working in the crystal caves, but he is small and not very strong. The head gnome tells Tatatuck that he must journey over seven mountains to the highest cave on Crystal Mountain and bring back a crystal to achieve his dream. Many gnomes have embarked on this journey before, but none have returned.
Tatatuck encounters many adventures on his quest. He gathers treasures and friends along the way, faces many hazards, and develops courage and strength on the journey. This is a delightful tale masterfully told by renowned storyteller Jakob Streit.
