A sweet little story. I picked this one up in the clearance bin after Christmas.

This good book is about this troll/elf Little Fur who is a healer to animals. Which means that she heals animals for anybody that does not get it. In this book Little Fur meets a fox called Sorrow who learns a great lesson and goes on an incredible journey. Little Fur is tring to find out the troll king's plans to get rid of all the earth magic and save everybody from despair.
