There was once a group of trees who were fed up with living in a deep, dark and crowded valley - so they moved to the enchanted forest. But as everybody knows, trees cannot walk without magic. This is the story of how Jack Frost, the small boy with the frozen touch, saves the magic from the greedy goblins. An exquisitely illustrated and beautifully told story, the tale of Jack Frost is bound to become a children's favourite.
