The Greenwood is an ancient forest which has remained virtually undisturbed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
The forest folk live in harmony with nature. They never take more than they can use, and go to great lengths to preserve the beauty of their environment.
During the last few years, however, all has changed, and now the forest is under threat of total destruction.
A mighty industrial organisation, which goes by the name of Hawk Enterprises, has purchased (or acquired by other means) almost all of the Greenwood.
Trees have been felled, vast areas cleared, mines and quarries dug, and industrial complexes built.
Many of the forest folk have sold up and moved away. For the creatures of the forest, their sanctuary becomes ever smaller year by year.
Anyone who opposes the activities of Hawk Enterprises receives a visit from Hawk's security team, known by everyone as the Clunkers.
Their opposition tends to be short-lived, for the Clunkers are very persuasive! Bag of gold or twisted arm, they care not which method they employ.
Crinkle lives in Rhymers Hatch near the edge of what remains of the Greenwood. As the army of destruction marches ever closer, she becomes increasingly concerned.
She decides that she will do all she can to put a halt to the wholesale annihilation of one of the most beautiful places in the land.
