Deep in the forest, in a cabin in an enchanted glade, lives an old man who grows vegetables to share with his wild animal friends, and bakes tiny cakes which he leaves out each night for the fairies to enjoy. The old man is happy caring for his forest friends most of the year, but at Christmastime he feels lonely and nostalgic for the festivities of the holidays. The Forest Fairies despair to see the kind, old man feeling sad, and hatch a plan to bring joy back into the glade. But are they willing to take the risk of showing themselves to a human? Meet the Willow Queen, the Chestnut King, and their joyful tribe of Forest Fairies in this magical holiday tale in which the worlds of animals, fairies and humans are intertwined.
