Somewhere in The United States of America, more accurately, in the woods of the state of Maryland lies the magical kingdom of Terabithia. Its peaceful existence in the enchanted forest is unknown to most humans.

This ancient kingdom is a place of freedom and harmony where all sorts of magical creatures live side by side, in peace. A true paradise if there ever was one.

Terabithia is a land filled with adventure and excitement. New things happen everyday.

Whenever a human child enters the magical kingdom things happen. Exciting things, wonderful things. Once there were no unicorns in Terabithia but now they are running around on the meadow behind the royal castle, everyone can hear how they sigh in bliss as they shake their manes in the sunshine. A girl named Amy came riding over the bridge to Terabithia on her beautiful white stallion. When she looked around and saw the magical kingdom with her own eyes her stallion grew a long shining horn and turned into a beautiful white unicorn. Since Queen Amy's reign unicorns have been a regular sight in Terabithia.

There are lots of stories about the adventures of Terabithia but the one you are about to hear now is the oldest and most treasured of them. It is the story of Terabithia's very creation. It is the story of how Terabithia got its first pair of monarchs, how the grand bridge was built and the story behind the royal coat of arms. It is the story of the time that human children first came to Terabithia a very long time ago...
