What is it like to grow up in the wilds of northwestern Ontario... a place where there are no roads, no corner store, and where your neighbors have to fly in to visit you? What is it like to be "raised by a village," including a fortune teller for a cook, and a mechanical magician of a handyman? What is it like to encounter a new cast of quirky guests every week, including a knickerbocker clad Count, a bear chasing movie star, and a tree climbing bank mogul? And what is it like when this fairy tale existence comes to an end?
