The Adventures of Leaf Man is a wonderful short fairy tale.The story of leaf man begins with his creation and goes on to his contemplation of what he should do with his very limited existence. While thinking what he should do with his single day, he hears a child who is lost in the forest and decides to help her. Thus he has his adventures.This fairy tale harkens back to the classic fairy tale formulas as well as mythological creation stories. It offers readers an opportunity to think about what they would do with a single day and how best to spend their time. For children, this story offers a great introduction to classic myths and fairy tales as well as a story that they can relate to. It is also the perfect length for a short story without being overly long and involved.I highly recommend this to readers of all ages. I enjoyed the story and the final resolution of leaf man's life.
