This is the tale of the summer's day,deep in the woods of England,when the Butterflies and Grasshoppers invited all the creatures of air and land to a Ball and a Feast.From St.Michael's Mount, Windsor, Rye, Salisbury, Tintern Abbey and the far corners of Britain they came - moles, gnats, dormice, newts, shrews, caterpillars, moths, frogs, squirrels, spiders, toads, mice, bees, flies, worms, centipedes, hares, hedgehogs,otters and foxes.Setting out in Johnson's Spinner Trains, Hot-Air Balloons, stagecoaches and on foot, most arrive - some fall foul of bats, stoats, wasps and foxes and don't! Beneath the Broad Oak Tree the Butterflies and guests dance the evening away, feasting and merrymaking until the glow-worms light up and lead the weary guests back to their beds.Based on William Roscoe's book of same name, originally published 1807.
