The general setting of this book is 'the story teller' who sits in a rocking chair in front of the old fireplace, with the 'Little Lady' sitting on his lap as he smokes a pipe and tells the old stories of the Hollow Tree Folk.

All the stories in this book are stories told by the various characters when there is a big snow storm and they get snowed in. To pass the time they tell stories.
