Introduction<br />
<strong>Pouques</strong> are members of the fairy folk in the Channel Islands. Each<br />
island has its own colony of pouques who like to live underground.<br />
They are very tiny, about the size of toddlers and like to wear hats and<br />
green clothes.<br />
Only children can see and hear pouques. These fairy folk are quite<br />
mischievous, but they do have a kind heart. If you ask them their<br />
name, they will always say Jean Petit as they will never tell a human<br />
their real name.<br />
<strong>Pouques</strong> are shape shifters and can change into animals and rocks.<br />
Adults can see them as animals, and they are often coloured with<br />
green or orange fur or feathers which is a big clue that they have<br />
changed shape.<br />
The Guernsey pouques speak Guernsey French and you will come<br />
across then speaking this language in the book. Look at the bottom of<br />
that page for a translation.
