In this first book of a series, country boys Billy and Lionel meet an
elf, Alfred. They are invited to his village hidden in the local
bushland. This starts a series of adventures and even joining a cooking
class with Chef Lou Mae. As they get to meet more of the community they
realise there is another world down here. Madam Erle causes all sorts of
problems and Billy saves the town from a horrible flood. It is a wild
ride for the boys.
