The narrator takes a nightime flight to the land of stories, where he takes a magical trolley, meets characters from famous stories such as Tom Thumb, Little Red Riding Hood, and the third bear from 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears, ' and sees famous sights such as the House that Jack Built and the 'pit where the Sand Man comes to get his grit.' Concludes with an account of a football game where the dollies square off against the brownies.
