New York: Workman Publishing, (1985) dj. Hardcover first edition - Buckley's first book for children, a fantasy which is part of the Goblin Tales series. Illustrated by John Gurney. "The subdued colors in Gurney's pictures reflect the dark doings set afoot by Wilfred Malachey, a newcomer at Brookfield Academy. Wilfred's allowance is small, his parents sacrifice to send him to the boarding school, so he steals to pay for luxuries enjoyed by the well-heeled students. But the discovery of the goblin residing in Brookfield's computer leads Wilfred to visions of real wealth. . The creature is not fooled, however, and he sets terms that terrify Wilfred even though he scales down his request considerably." (Publishers Weekly) Square format. 45 pp. ISBN: 0-894809237.
