What are Littluns?





What are Littluns?






Littluns means “little people who live within.” From the inner crater walls of Powder Mountain to their homes and businesses built into the environment and community of Hollow Hills, Littluns symbolize all that is good and true.




Littluns measure about three feet in height, give or take a few inches, and are usually well rounded in appearance, due to their insatiable appetites and the many social events that provide good reasons for good eating. They have very large ears, three fingers and a thumb, and furry feet with thick soles, eliminating the need for socks and shoes.




Birthdays are celebrated in a big way, but unlike humans, Littluns don’t measure age in terms of years. They sometimes refer to themselves as younger than younguns, younguns, middleuns, or olderuns, but without any number attached. They are forever young in appearance and retain a child-like innocence throughout their long life. It is estimated that Littluns live to be over three hundred human years, more or less.

NOTE: “Littluns, AND THE BOOK OF DARKNESS” is a family story but recommended for adult and young adult reading, 12 years of age and above.




It’s really animation reading for grownups.




Or if you’re a Littlun this book is reading for younguns, middleuns, and olderuns.



Littluns is a 411 page hardcover book with 63 full color paintings.











Of Light and Life there is The Book of Light


Of all that has been or will be corrupted, there is The Book of Darkness


One empowers individuals


The other has power over them





Possessing the human body of Eqassym Enturim/the Necromancer, (The Evil One) had placed most of his dark powers into words; words reserved for his wicked purposes.






But, The Evil One’s ominous Dark Book becomes lost, resulting in him becoming trapped somewhere between the living and the dead. To prove his superiority and fulfill his plan, he must have his Book back at all costs. This story of innocence, takes you into a magical fantasy, but at the same time, very real world of current events, and Bible prophecy. Littluns is a story for all ages, depicting everyone’s journey through life facing choices for the Light or darkness.









Beginning with a simple scavenger hunt, the reader is taken on a fast roller coaster ride into a volatile unknown. “Littluns” is a powerful book about faith and trusted friends that gives positive celebration to traditional Judeo-Christian values and the human spirit. It is a story of extreme good and innocence in a world of chaos from the resulting seductive effects of evil. This book clearly defines the differences and becomes the family friendly alternative.






As one parent wrote in her review, “Refreshing, from a Parent’s point of view, is knowing that “Littluns” is written absent of inappropriate and offensive language, and will not affect the onset and continued interest of the reader. The book stays in balance with humor, terror, innocence, action, morals, truth, sadness, hope, and feelings. The reader will find this novel impossible to predict and full of surprises.”





“Littluns” is an action packed, exciting alternative for millions of readers. It too will have controversy due to its powerful theme, but in contrast, its enlightened values cannot be disputed and will live forever in this mythical world of wonder and enchantment that will warm your soul.




“Littluns” is a book for the entire family. However, recommended reading is for twelve years of age and above. The novel’s Judeo-Christian values should appeal to both religious and secular readers. Even others may find the read to be, at the very least, entertaining and thought provoking.




Uniquely, “Littluns” is written in the present tense, third omniscient voice with the intent for the reader to have a present-tense experience as if they are also watching a movie as they read this book of wonder and enchantment. The sixty-three color illustrations complete the visual reading experience. This is a page-turner where the reader will never be able to guess what will happen next…surprised, and shocked, but never predictable. “Littluns” will also stir the reader’s every emotion while presenting real-life examples that everyone can relate to.




The outside world below holds little interest to Littluns. It’s not that they don’t know about such things and what goes on out there; they know very well about the chaos and discord and the importance of remaining removed from such things.





After the war to end all wars ended its long history, now all but completely forgotten, there became a new land, Terra Fermata, named for the earth’s musical pause of harmony and peace. However, over recent years, the blessings of God’s peace and harmony became replaced with anarchy and chaos as its inhabitants, once again, through jealousies, intolerances, indifferences, and greed, began turning on their neighbors through the initial manipulative results of evil.





Littluns is a contemporary, psychological study/story, that takes place somewhere between reality and eternity, about the good and pure of heart, in contrast to extreme evil in a world gone wrong in the end times.





Littluns is about (Truth), Love, Hope, Joy, (Enlightenment), and Hearts Desire, the expanded experience of Eucatastrophe. It offers up a compelling, disturbing look into a prophetic future where events can be disguised, people easily deceived, and truth restricted to only those who embrace it. This is a story of extremes: Extreme good and extreme evil and the choices we all must eventually make.

I loved the book "Littluns, AND THE BOOK OF DARKNESS!!!" I am looking forward to reading the sequel!! There has to be one!




I found the travels of Sneetz, both exciting and frustrating! I wanted so badly for the one issue to be different although it was what it had to be! A very creative solution!




His Grossness will create a wonderful image in a child's mind as his descriptive sounds and utterances cause giggles galore!




A more evil creation than Equassym Enturim as the Necromancer could not be better described by the author. I had the feeling that this evil entity could not be detained without a Higher Power intervening. I was holding my breath through out the ending! Whew!






Mark Glamack has taken the best of many thoughts of enlightened souls and turned it into a tale that will weave joy and intrigue through the imaginations of young and old alike.

Braybe Livingston teaches Littlun history to younger than young younguns. He can be quite impatient and has no problem expressing himself. One day he kept his whole class after school because he felt that they were not grasping the forefather’s text on the importance of self-government. Everyone really did understand how democracy has provided peace and harmony for all Littluns; they just liked to hear him talk. While most Littluns’ round ears stick out, Braybe’s ears point slightly backwards. His nervous temperament, quick walk, and lots of Crick-golf force him to eat more to keep up his weight.




Miskey Honeywell is the librarian for the town of Littleton. He’s read every book and from memory can point to any title’s location in the library. He even wrote several spy novels himself; the subjects of which can spur animated conversations. One such novel was about a spy commissioned to find Littluns. It kept many a Littlun up very late, reading to find out if the spy was successful. Of course, the mole slipped off the mountain before he could reach the In-N-Out, which was a great relief to all of Miskey’s Littlun readers. Miskey has a slightly larger than normal head, which some Littluns credit with his great ability to store all that knowledge.




Letsen Overland is the most experienced of any youngun scavengers with, to date, a total of five outings under his belt. This will be his sixth. Normally, Letsen supervises all the gardening and tree trimming throughout Hollow Hills. He has a larger than normal nose and stands taller than the others by a staggering three inches.



Brandywine Weatherspoon, Brandy for short, is a gourmet cook, which is obvious when looking at him. He’s at least twenty pounds heavier than the average Littlun and quite proud of it. Brandy is often heard saying, “To be a good cook, all you have to do is buy a cookbook. To be a great cook, you write your own. That takes many tastings through trial and error, an insatiable appetite, which is no problem for any Littlun; and a tummy that welcomes change.”



By far, the most impressive waterfall in the entire valley is at the Littlun residence of Sneetz Summerville. He actually has three waterfalls that drop from the top of a rocky aqueduct into several elevated pools that empty into a larger waterfall that fills a large pool at its base. Pool parties and fishing are commonplace at the Summerville home.










Being a youngun, Sneetz is still single and doing just about anything he pleases. Littluns usually get married and start a family when they reach middleun status. For now, Sneetz has big plans. Somewhere between fishing, Crick-golf, parties, gardening, and general fun, he is contemplating expanding his living space. This takes a lot of thought and cannot be rushed. Sneetz comes from a long line of Summervilles who made their fortunes making and selling fishing lures. Fishing is easy with a “Summerville Lure,” and for as long as anyone can remember, there has never been any need for competition, making Sneetz a very wealthy Littlun.







In his spare time, Sneetz continues to produce the Summerville Lure, which is sold in his store, appropriately named “Summerville’s” in the town of Littleton.




A typical Littlun abode, Sneetz’s home is built into rolling hills surrounded with manicured trees.





The land of the Littluns is perfection personified, but today is Scavenger Hunt Day where these five younguns will journey down from their secret mountain-top location of Hollow Hills to the lands of Terra Fermata below, and into the unknown.
