Two children, Heather and Davy, love being told stories of fantasy by their Grandee. Their favorite story is about the precarious group of fictitious Marshwiggles that live in small villages near the cranberry bogs of the Pennsylvania countryside. The children are curious about the very shy little creatures that stay hidden from humans. They decide to go on an adventure to find the little Marshwiggles to play with them. After a chance encounter, the only sign of them is the golden lashes blinking as they run away from the two children.
