“Who amongst the most learned men and women in the world understands elf magic, or even knows that it exists?”

Hob doesn’t know what will happen when an elf light is thrown into goblin fire, but he must risk it if he’s to have any chance of helping his friends.

I think is a great story if you're trying to teach your kids how to save the environment, why picking up after yourselves is really important instead of leaving trash laying around outdoors - how it can be harmful to the animals. Although it does has an educational aspect it does so in a entertaining story.
