Chapter I

THERE was once a House that stood alone, on the edge of a vast and magical forest. And in this House so very far from all the others, there lived a lonely family, one that had almost quite forgotten the magic of loving. Why, in this House, even the toys themselves were falling under the spell of the Forgetting. There were but two who held to their promise never to forget the magic: a Girl and her Teddy Bear.
