Fairy tales by the Woods Crone
The home of the Woods Crone is full of surprises. You can find some of them in the Fairyland. The Fairyland in on Hepatica Hill. In the Fairyland and other places of the park, the trees and plants are alive like you but in a slightly different way.
If you are quiet and look around, you can meet fairies, who will make many complicated things easily understandable. When you enter the Rowan Block Gate of Wishes, you can soon reach the THRONE OF THE FOREST LADY. Here, amidst the four ash trees, the Lady of the Forest likes to think of things. Let's go on...

Grouch and Spitfire are living under the ash tree and gooseberry bush and they are pretty fishy characters who like collecting things. Grouch collects grouching and whining and Spitfire collects spite and maliciousness. Grouch has a huge ear and can hear whining from afar.
Spitfire has a spite trap and he is rather ill-natured himself as well. All spite and whining shall be put into the cave under the ash tree roots. So much spite and whining is there already that nothing else but a wild gooseberry bush and burdock grows above the cave. After a walk in the Fairyland, your friends may not recognise you any more - there's no whining or spitefulness in you. Let's hurry on...

Root Thief lives in a burrow under the ash tree roots. He likes to collect all kinds of things - golden buttons, dry cones, aphorisms, acorns, pebbles, dignity and undignity, little wood chips... But most of all he likes sharp tongues. If you, dear fairy researcher, have a sharp tongue and you don't want to lose it, do not bend too close to the burrow, or else... Better, let's walk on...

Scatterbrain drifts over the Fairyland unnoticed and pleased with himself. He has no worries or problems, because all he hears goes in one ear and out the other. Do you know any such persons?

The Gates of the Hug Fairy are right on the bank of the stream. He is a loving fairy. He loves everything and everybody. If want to be forever friends with somebody, you have to join arms while each being on the other side of the gate and look over the wood what colour are your friend's eyes. But beware, the fairy may play pranks on you and give you his hand instead. Then you have to visit him often, otherwise he will get upset because his friends have forgotten him.

Fairy cabins are homes for Grass Fairies, who are very quiet creatures. If you listen quietly, you may hear them talking. They speak in the language of the gurgle of the stream, sough of the forest, melting snow and wind. Sometimes a Carrot Man visits the Grass Fairies. Then they have lots of fun and you can be a part of it all, if you know carrot language, of course...

The Stream Stone Fairy is the most mysterious fairy in the Fairyland. Do you now the saying: beauty is in the eyes of a beholder? The Stream Stone Fairy is also in the eyes of the beholders. The one who looks for her may see her hair running in the stream. The Stream Stone Fairy lives between the dam stones and winks her moss green eye only at some chosen ones.

Broom Men are guardians of the Fairyland. They defend it against Nothingness. They live at the top of the Hepatica Hill where they can see the whole Fairyland. They like cleanliness. But most of all they like clean and untouched nature.
