This charming story follows the adventures of a lost dryad, a tree spirit seeking a new home after her oak tree is destroyed in a storm. The book embodies themes of kindness, the importance of community, and the magical interconnections between humans and nature. In the narrative, the lost dryad encounters various characters in a village as she searches for another oak tree. Her attempts to integrate into human society lead to humorous and heartwarming situations, including a fateful kiss that transforms a constable into a young boy and causes unexpected chaos.
