Most of the marvels or impossibilities in here are to be found in the picture there presented to us of Scottish names, manners and costumes. It will hardly be denied that such a Scotch family name as Ursiclos, and such clans as the clan McDouglas and the clan Melville, are sufficiently impossible ; nor can it be counted as anything less than a marvel for a lowland gentleman’s butler to wait at dinner and perform all his other duties clad in the ‘garb of old Gaul!’ But these and innumerable errors of the same kind are all due, apparently, to a fixed idea on the part of M. Verne that all Scotchmen are Highlanders. The story is a perfect setting for the admirable descriptions of Scotch scenery which are the best feature in the book.

Two best friends, Butterfly and Dragonfly leave their meadow behind in search of greener grass. They wonder if the grass could be greener on the other side of the fence and if they might be happier someplace else. Along their way, Butterfly and Dragonfly meet Beetle who attempts to lure them farther away from the truth. They also encounter mother Robin who offers her wisdom. Butterfly and Dragonfly soon discover that true happiness comes from within their hearts and that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
