This little fairy tale is fun, expressive, and sweet. The tale of the town and its tradition works well and even brings a touch of realism; people have done similar things IRL. The main character is being dutiful but she isn't a fool and she has more choices than initially meet the eye. Her initial moments with the the Lord of the Forest made me smile because she was so human and adorable in her surprise. Everything worked well for me and this was a delightful way to take my morning coffee. Thank you for making it!
