Katherine, who has grown up in the comfort and safety of her fathers palace, finds herself drawn to the cottage where her late grandmother grew up. Lured by the mysteries of the forest, and alarmed by talk of marriage between her sister and their cousin, she follows her Great-Aunt Rose into the unknown. Although Katherine enjoys the simple life, she begins to fear for Roses sanity as the old woman recalls her childhood experiences, so fantastical they must surely have been imagined.  She also fears the rumours of dangerous animals nearby, but an encounter with three bears leads her to discover that her aunts stories are true, and that the forest holds secrets even Rose never dreamed of. A retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
