The Gammage Cup Summary

The Minnipins have lost their past. Long ago, the hero Gammage led them in a war against the Hairless Ones. But that was long ago. Muggles, Gummy the poet, and Walter the Earl are not like the other Minnipins. They dress differently, speak their minds, and–when Walter the Earl finds a package of old scrolls and weapons—dare to disagree with the Minnipin Leaders. For their troubles, they have been banished from the village. They go to a mountain far away, built houses, survived for almost a month, and discover that the hairless ones have returned. Walter the Earl goes back to the community and gathers an army to fight the Minnipins. They fought, won and the weapons Walter had found have been very good in battle.
