Our story takes place in Fairytale Land. Every year, on the third Friday of the fourth month, brothers Billy, Bobby, and Bo set off to visit their grandmother who lives in the heart of the Enchanted Forest. Unfortunately, this visit always starts with a particular bridge inhabited by a particular grumpy troll. Fed up with impossible riddles and bad attitudes, the eldest Gruff brother, Billy, decides to lead his siblings to their grandmother’s house… the long way ‘round. On this adventure, we run into several fantasy favorites, such as The Three Little Pigs, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel, Gretel, and many more!
