With the arrival of spring, the gnomes living on the banks of the Folly Brook decide to set off on a journey to find their friend, who had headed toward the stream's headwaters in search of its source. Ahead of them lie unexplored lands, thrilling adventures, and amazing discoveries. The gnomes will navigate dangerous whirlpools and the fearsome Raven Woods, battle the giant Thunder-Grip, end up on a deserted island, and make many new friends. But will they find their missing friend, and will they manage to return home?
