About this book
Laura Idleways has a mountain castle full of comforts, yet scarcely anything seems to please her. Concerned by her daughter's unhappiness and dependence on others, Lady Idleways takes the little girl into the Forest of Pines. There she is to stay with a fairy whom she must call Motherkin. This children's fairy story turns a privileged child's restlessness into an occasion for lessons in usefulness, kindness and perseverance.
Helen Ashe Hays sets Laura's trials among tangled woodland paths, mountain views and sudden storms. As Laura travels through the woods, a stream seems to speak to her, while a helpful staff guides her to shelter and supports her as she travels on. Thoughts of poor children renew her determination when fatigue sets in.
