The Reverend Egerton R. Young (1840-1909) was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He became a Wesleyan Methodist minister in his early 20s, and in 1868 he and his wife were sent out for his first assignment as a missionary among the Indians. He continued to do mission work until 1887, then began a lecture tour in the eastern U.S, telling about his experiences among the Indians. In 1890 he completed the first of over a dozen books, all drawn upon his mission experience.

Four tiny elf children living in a Scandinavian forest have adventures throughout the year working and playing with the other inhabitants: fairies, a troll, birds, bats, 4 leggeds, and more. They wear hats of the red spotted amanita muscaria as a camoflage should they need to hide. So we rarely see them, but children, do you think they really exist?
