A company of small, mischievous elves leaves the forest and settles in a gap in a garden stone wall, naming their new home Mount Fern. Under their captain they organize household tasks, make music, and spend nights dancing, tending flowers, and visiting both elfin and human neighbors. The narrative moves through episodic scenes—a lawn party, a ball, a child’s birthday, and a visit from the elfin king—showing their playful domestic routines, gentle tricks, and helpful interventions among the household and garden life surrounding Templeton Hall.
