Autumn. It's time for the Earth to turn to its inner life. And our own."

Together with the hero of these stories, the Dwarf Root, we go on an amazing journey - to the world where creatures invisible to the human eye live. It all begins with an autumn leaf falling quietly to the ground, with an acquaintance with the wise Spirit of the tree, who will tell the secrets of nature. The dwarf Root learns that he is the one who can bring new life to plants, preserving the vitality that flows down their roots.

He learns about the forces at work in the natural kingdom throughout the year: He meets the air elves; finds out how the birds and animals with hearts live in the forest in winter; witnesses the winter Christmas miracle; learns why all the elves, travelling lights and gnomes dance on the summer night before St John's Day; and why the grim kobolds and the dark dragon lurk deep in the bowels of the earth.

Jacob Streit (1910-2009), a Swiss educator and writer, conveys spiritual wisdom in a simple and imaginative way through the discoveries made by a little man on his journey.
