When Rudi the naughty wood elf woke up Wise Owl, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine the adventure it would lead him on. Can Rudi save elf-kind before the long winter sets in? Join him in this beautifully illustrated story as he is forced to leave his home in the wood and begin his first quest into the world alone. "There were a few mysterious bumps and scraping noises as Yew Tree fetched the box from its secret hiding place. Then "now you can open your eyes," he said somewhat breathlessly. Rudi opened his eyes and there before him were the strangest things, such as he had never seen before. Some of them were elfish things and of course very magical, others were special because they had been dropped by the "Big Ones," and hoarded by the Elders for just such a special occasion. "Think carefully now, Rudi," cautioned Yew Tree, "only take with you what you can easily carry."
