A story from the 14th Century - one of the darkest times in Europe. Two years of rain. Failed crops, everywhere. Millions dead of starvation. And two real children, lost in the woods, really afraid they'll be eaten. But the story is even more complex than that. Christian Hege weaves a fairy tale of famine, devastating loss, and unexpected hope.
