Dixie of Dalesville - First

Knowing how to surround yourself well, accepting to share our difficulties can be solutions to many problems. Such is the lesson of this tale.

The love of Charlie and the friendship of the animal friends from the forest, of whom Fred the groundhog and grandmother Binn the crow, guided her steps after many adventures and doubts, toward a new life where there is room for happiness.
