A friendly character living in a forest in a cabin in a tree learns about mythical creatures in books. He figures he should go look for these creatures since no one seems to have found them. As he searches for them, he is disappointed that he can't appear to find any. The creatures are there for the reader to see but escape the view of the seeker. A wonderful story of loneliness and friendship in odd places. Creatures in books do not always exist but they do reside in our imagination.
