by Walter de la Mare

This children's play by Walter de la Mare tells the story of the Wildersham children who must move from their city home to a country house called Crossings. The children are initially frightened by their new surroundings, but they soon begin to explore and make friends with the local children and the fairies who live in the woods. The play is full of magic and imagination, and it explores themes of loss, grief, and the power of friendship.
