The Forest Elves of Norway are mischievous and friendly enjoying a happy life with their cats in their homes in the pine trees preparing for midsummer celebrations.
In the winter they live in the attic of a large house to protect them from the freezing temperatures. They help Santa at Christmas time and play in the snow.
Later they go on adventures meeting other elves from Denmark and Lapland sharing lots of fun with their new friends and learning about their different ways of life despite all being elves.
