About This Book

A small princess spends a day in an enchanted forest where wind and dew-maids attend her morning, animals and birds help with learning and play, and mushroom-children tell tales by the mossy edge. The text moves through ritualized scenes—grooming, breakfast, lessons, games, and stories—toward a quiet evening as stars guide her home, portraying a tender, lyrical relationship between the child and the natural world through poetic snapshots and gentle, personified elements of the woods.
