Jim, Dossie and Hector leave their families behind to go on the road, working, traveling, and living in different places. The three of them become enthusiastic students of Nature's magic as they learn about Nature's ways and Beings, including elves, fairies and all manner of Nature's folk. The magic of their life suits them until a parting of the ways looms on the horizon, and an endurance contest begins between Jim and Dossie. Then new thoughts must be thought, and new roads traveled. This plain and simple story is particularly for those whose soul might be partial to the color blue.
