'Come away, O human child,
human child, human child;
To the woods and waters wild,
La, la, la, la, la.

'It's hot Summer in Melbourne, but cold Winter in the Coastland, where the Caretaker faeries quietly tend the forest - but there are storms and lost dragons to deal with (as well as mid-Winter parties and walks along the beach to enjoy), as Scarlett, a young visitor from the human world, will discover.

'Join Scarlett, Emerald, Acacia, Wystie, Sedge, Flax and Redleaf for a memorable season in the land of the Winter Faeries.'
