[There's the sound of some background noise; birds tweeting, shrubbery being trodden underfoot, but above all that there's the sound of someone- a woman- humming cheerfully.]

Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many plants before except in picture books! And isn’t it a lovely day? I’ve never had a dream before where I got to be in a forest, but if it means that I get to see lovely trees and animals like this then I don’t think I mind it at all!

[Some more happy humming can be heard, and footsteps through the undergrowth.]

My back’s all itchy. That’s funny, I don’t usually get an itchy back when I dream. Oh no, I’m not allergic to trees am I? That would be just awful! Magic Book, could you tell me if I’m allergic to trees?

[…]

Silly old Milly, of course the book isn’t going to tell you that, books can’t talk!

…I wonder if there’s a pudding tree? All my very best dreams have pudding somewhere, so it really doesn’t make a lot of sense if there isn’t a pudding tree…

[More humming, someone sure sounds cheerful. Then she stops.]

…I think I’m lost.

...I can, but the book can't.

[Mihai sighs, trying to figure out the best way to explain this.]

The book isn't quite normal. It's more like a telephone. I'm actually talking to you from another book.

Well. Yes.

[...Mihai's not sure you actually get this, Milly.]

But You didn't think of it. Like I said, this isn't a dream. I know it might seem like one, but it really isn't.

[...oh boy.]

But this isn't a dream, I promise. This is real. It doesn't seem real, because you've been kidnapped and taken to a different world.

...That doesn't help my case any, does it?

[Your boyfriend just made things easier, Milly. Mihai gives up on the "it's not a dream" part, but he'll focus on the rest.]

Right.

Well, be careful. It can be dangerous around here, sometimes.

Mihai. My name's Mihai Mihailov.

Is it? Well, at least you'll be prepared for this place. The ones who brought you here like to do...unique things.

...Jist Mihai is fine.

Well, they can change the way you look by turning you into a different person, or an object.
