[net.sf-lovers] book wanted

cjh (12/29/82)

I am wondering whether anyone else has heard of a book I read 20 years ago.
I recall the title being MR. MURGATROYD, the title character being a gnomish
type who blows out of a London fog to lead an American boy (whose father is
attached to the embassy) on an assortment of adventures relating to both
traditional fantasies and English mythology (one of the reappearing characters
is a variant of the Green Man).
   Does anyone else remember this? Has anyone seen a copy for sale anywhere??
