A young boy (Martin Fuller), oppressed by his mother, goes on an outing in the country with a social welfare group where he dares to dream of a land where the cares of his ordinary life fade.
This film looks great more than 100 years later. The picture is very crisp, and the use of double exposure is not only very well done ,but still works excellently as a fade in or out after all this time. Whoever preserved this film did much better than almost everyone else.
I loved how this incorporated some fantasy elements. Whether or not it was the first, it is great to see the costumes and the use of witches and fairies. A boy who must escape the world could ask for no better companions.
