Once upon a time, a young elf named Olaf lived in the forest and wanted to find pine trees for the masts of his ship. Along the way, he met new friends who joined Olaf in his journey to faraway lands. This is a story of a voyage, of adventures, and of friendship. The story teaches the reader how to face problems as something temporary that one can overcome, that random events can always move us forward, and that it is easier to overcome small fears if you are not alone but sometimes you have to be on your own to solve the larger ones. There is magic all around us—we just need to try to see it. In this story, a child can find many interesting and easy solutions to both ordinary and extraordinary problems.

Отрывок из книги
The time had come to go and find some tall pine trees for the ship. In the forest where Olaf lived you could only find broadleaved trees but for a good sailing mast you need to use tall and straight pine trees. It was the early summer. The weather was warm both during the day and at night. For the trip, Olaf took only the most important things: an axe, matches, and a raincoat. The elf heard about the pine tree forest from an owl who lived not far from his house.
“My relatives live in the pine tree forest,” said the owl. “It is a forest with tall pine and Christmas trees and very special air.”
.....
“Windmills?” Olaf interjected.
Though Olaf did not really understand the importance of the coon’s whistle, he still decided to help him find it.
