Pictorial Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French: With Numerous Illustrative Anecdotes of His Court and Times (1845)

The story tells of forest dwellers living in an enchanted forest within a magical land, who have the power of speech and live in peace and harmony. They take these powers for granted and are unconsciously aware of how they lead their normal lives. Strangers arrive and cause an interruption in their activities, by destroying a portion of their beloved forest. After removing the strangers and reestablishing what was destroyed, the forest dwellers use that experience to reevaluate their lives, which has now made them consciously aware of their behavior toward one another, and create a desire to diligently perpetuate it for future generations.
