When she takes off the lid, the little girl pulls out holes in all shapes and sizes that lead her to discover remarkable characters who fill her room with amazing stories: Little Red Riding Hood, Gwendolyn the Witch, Princess Rosalind, King Horace the Fourth…

Discover this bewitching tale that shows us how our imaginations can fill in many gaps in our lives, bringing smiles to our faces that we should never, ever give up as lost.
