This Brothers Grimm fairy tale, The Elfin Grove, is a story of magical friendships and the wonders of the fae kingdom. The fir grove near little Mary’s house is a topic of much discussion among the villagers. It’s sunless and murky, and mysterious creatures are said to lurk within it. While playing hide and seek, Mary finds herself being led into the fir grove. It is here that she discovers a whimsical fairyland and becomes close friends with a kind elf named Gossamer. The pair begin a magical adventure and Gossamer shows Mary around the fairies’ home, introducing her to the kind creatures living beyond the grove.
When Mary returns to her own home, she finds she has been gone for several years. Gradually, her memories of the fairy kingdom fade, but she has not seen the last of her good friend, Gossamer. Her own daughter, Elfie, soon finds the fir-tree grove and begins to have her own wonderful adventures with the very same elf.
