Tollins on Chorleywood Common

I had no idea what a Tollin was until late last week. My friend and journalist Jill Visser emailed me and told me all about them. I was reading the email and it explained that Tollins are little people who live under the wooded Common in Chorleywood Hertfordshire, England. I carried on reading the email and it explained that they were all real and quite magical. I then stopped and looked at my phone again, where the email was and re read it. I thought for a moment I was going mental. Little people who live under the common!!! Obviously they cannot be real, I am such an idiot. For a split second I thought they could be and I didn't understand how I had never heard about them before. So, a few days later, I went with Jill and photographed Tollins on the common.

They were as described, little people who do in fact live under the common. There is a book out now telling us all about them. It is published by Harper Collins.
