Under the Greenwood Tree

Under the thick green cover of an old tree lies a cozy little world of a small village, where everything breathes tranquility: in the mornings, the smell of warm bread wafts through, in the evenings the songs of choristers can be heard, and the residents keep their ancient traditions sacred.
But with the young teacher Fancy Day, a change comes to Melstock — quiet, barely noticeable, like a fresh breeze. In the heart of Dick Dewy, a timid feeling is born, and the village gradually fills with the tension of expectation: hopes collide with ambitions, while bright infatuation intertwines with jealousy and secret dreams.
