What we have always suspected! Just a moment of not looking, and what was once shiny and new suddenly appears shabby and worn out. Who is to blame for this? Well, among us are tiny goblins who have taken it upon themselves to blemish things or simply let them age. It's certainly no easy task! One day, Tippo, whose specialty is printing errors in books, discovers that people are far from pleased when their belongings become old or unusable. Together with his friend Fleck, he embarks on an adventurous journey to the tooth of time. Will he manage to stop the aging of things? And what role does the talking dung beetle play in this? A delightful story about what happens behind the scenes in our everyday lives, accompanied by many imaginative illustrations.
