One day, a woodcutter saves the life of a faerie from an attacking hawk, and in return, is granted one wish. It seems like a wonderful gift, but when he listens to needs of each one in his family, the gift soon becomes a burden. With thought, the woodcutter figures out what the best wish will be.

A bewitching collection of stories, poems and snippets of fairie lore from Great Britain and Ireland that are influenced by writers and artists from the Victorian era.
