    About this ebook

    Crossing over the River of Dreams, Bouncey the Elf sees an injured bird and goes to help. He finds his friend, Trixie the Pixie already there. Trixie tells him that Tawney the Owl, (the injured bird) had found out that the Goblins were using elves as slaves in their goldmine.
    Next to Tawney in the long grass, Bouncey sees two small black boxes, tangled up with string, in his talons.
    Those boxes talk to the Goblins, Tawney had “told” Trixie. Bouncey just laughed at the idea of talking boxes.
    They decide to ask the Wizard to help them rescue the elves. On the way to the Wizard’s cave, Bouncey is separated from Trixie and gets captured by two Goblins.
    Trixie manages to reach the Wizard’s cave and he agrees to help save the elves.
    The unexpected arrival of her friend, Aerie the Faery, Trixie thought might give them a better chance of rescuing the elves. However the Wizard explained that it will all depend on Tawney doing the right thing.......

      The rooks were making such a racket that Bouncey the elf stopped halfway across the River of Dreams Bridge to see what all the fuss was about.

      Away to his left, the dark Wild Boar forest could be seen over the bushes that grew along the riverbank.

      Between the bushes and the forest was an open area in which a giant oak tree towered. It was the shade of the oak tree branches that had stopped other plants, apart from the long grass, from growing under them.

      The rooks were diving to and fro around the oak tree, cawing like mad. The noise was deafening, there were at least twenty or thirty of them and Bouncey at first couldn’t see what had made them so angry.

      Then he saw a big brown owl crouched next to the bottom of a huge tree trunk.

      It must be injured, thought Bouncey. Then he noticed that one wing was sticking out in a funny way.

      Oh dear, it must be broken. I must go and help the poor bird.

      The rooks fear owls because they sometimes steal their chicks and so they were trying to frighten this owl away.

      Bouncey ran back off the bridge and went along the riverbank as fast as he could. The bushes were so thick he sometimes had to crawl underneath them. A small elf like him couldn’t always push his way through, so he was glad when he spotted a gap large enough for him to pass.

      Bouncey suddenly stopped and looked in surprise – someone else was already there, bending over the hurt owl.

      The person must have heard Bouncey come through the bushes and turned round to look at him.

      ‘Hi Bouncey, fancy meeting you here,’ said Trixie the Pixie with a big smile.

      ‘Thank goodness you came, I could use some help in fixing Tawney’s hurt wing.’

      Bouncey nodded, getting over his surprise at seeing Trixie and said, ‘What a lucky bird Tawney is, having
