How the gentle wind,
Beckons through the leaves,
As autumn colors fall.
Dancing in a swirl,
Of golden memories,
The loveliest lies of all

In Over the Garden Wall, a frog plucks at a piano, serenading us with a melody in which we learn the story of the Unknown – a strange, magical place where brothers Wirt and Greg are lost.

The end of the show give us a glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants, what was, and what could be. In these final moments, we see a grieving woodsman reunited with his lost daughter, a schoolteacher rekindles her romance, a cursed family finds salvation, and the brothers awaken safely in the real world. But the frog’s song reminds us of those lovely lies, leaving us questioning what’s real.

Many fan theories hinge on the idea that Greg and Wirt don't actually make it -- that they drown in the lake, and everything we see is a hallucination. But...I'd like to believe otherwise. Nevertheless, the Unknown embodies the idea of fuzzy truths, and things not being what they seem. Beatrice the bluebird is one of those characters.

Sharp-tongued, clever, and headstrong, Beatrice appears to be the brothers’ ally, promising to guide them out of the Unknown after they free her from a thorny bush. But turns out, she’s been cursed to live as a bird and has been conspiring to hand the boys over to a witch in exchange for magical scissors that will turn her and her family human again.

As Beatrice grows close to Wirt and Greg, her guilt leads her to abandon her plan. In an act of redemption, she risks her own safety to save the boys from the witch. In the end, Beatrice uses the magical scissors to break her family's curse.

The Loveliest Lies of All is a chubby, squishy wood glue butter in Beatrice's colorway scented peppermint, damp forest ferns, wild blueberries, lavender ice cream (symbolizing distrust and sweetness), forget-me-nots, and bittersweet cacao. It comes with a woodsy-printed clay top, a handmade paper wing, and an optional pair of real heron scissors which you may use to snip Beatrice's wing or the slime itself.
