Cassie's neighbors are constantly complaining about the foxes that frequent her flat, which is located near the River Thames. However, Cassie finds them to be absolutely beautiful. Her favorite is a small fox with a white tail-tip that she names Frost. One night, as she's looking out the window, she catches sight of Frost in the snow, looking cold and thin. Determined to help him, Cassie sneaks out to bring him some food. To her surprise, Frost leads her towards the river, where she suddenly finds herself in the back in the seventeenth century – at the time of the Frost Fair on the frozen Thames. At first, Cassie is thrilled by the sights and sounds of the fair, but then she glimpses Frost again. This time, he seems to be beckoning her to follow him.

Confused and intrigued, Cassie follows Frost through the fair, trying to figure out what he wants from her. As they walk, she notices that the world around her is changing, and she begins to feel a sense of disorientation. Suddenly, she finds herself in a dark and mysterious forest, with Frost leading the way.

As they continue to walk, Cassie begins to realize that Frost is not just any fox. He is a magical creature, with the power to transport her through time and space. But with great power comes great responsibility, and Cassie must decide whether to trust Frost and follow him on his journey or to return to her own time and leave him behind.

As they walk deeper into the forest, Cassie encounters a variety of strange and fascinating creatures, including a talking owl, a wise old witch, and a group of fairies. Each creature has its own story to tell, and Cassie is amazed by the depth and complexity of the magical world that she has stumbled upon.

Finally, after many days of walking, Cassie and Frost arrive at a small cottage in the countryside. Frost leads her inside, where she finds a warm and welcoming family waiting for her. The family is grateful for Cassie's help in bringing Frost back to his home, and they offer her a place to stay for as long as she needs.

Over the next few weeks, Cassie spends time with the family, learning about their way of life and getting to know the magical creatures that live in the forest. She also spends time with Frost, exploring the countryside and learning more about his powers and his history.

As time passes, Cassie begins to feel a sense of belonging in the magical world that she has discovered. She realizes that she has made a friend in Frost, and that he has shown her a side of the world that she never knew existed. But as much as she loves the magical world, she knows that she must eventually return to her own time and leave Frost behind.

One day, as Cassie is packing her things to leave, she finds a small crystal that Frost has given her. The crystal is a symbol of their friendship and of the magical world that they have shared. Cassie knows that she will never forget the lessons that she has learned from Frost and the magical world that he has shown her.

As she walks away from the cottage, Cassie feels a sense of sadness and longing. She knows that she will never see Frost again, but she also knows that he has left a lasting impression on her heart. She carries the crystal with her, knowing that it will always remind her of the magical world that she has discovered and the friend that she has made in Frost.
