Description

In this charming tale the reader is invited into the hidden world of Elfland, where tiny, mischievous elves flit about moonlit hillsides, streams and forest glades. When a curious troupe of elves discovers a snug gap in a stone wall on a human’s garden, they claim it as their new home and begin to settle in, each character bringing a distinct sparkle—Captain Featherweight’s steady leadership, Rainbow’s flamboyant ceremonies, Rhymo’s poetic verses, and the ever‑playful Touchstone. Their lively debates over what to call the dwelling reveal a delightful blend of personalities, while their nightly dances and songs paint a vivid picture of elfin life seen but unseen by the world of men.

The story unfolds with the elves arranging their new abode, decorating the stone‑wall niche, and celebrating with music that captures both wonder and gentle ribbing among friends. Listeners will be enchanted by the whimsical banter, the gentle humor of a wise old elf named Owly, and the tender camaraderie that binds this merry band as they make “Mount Fern” their secret sanctuary.
