Those friendly dwarves were the first to go, the poor things. And now the beast has been killing and eating the people of Brandonsford. No-one wants to leave the town's walls. With the humans out of the forest, fairies have taken over, and now the goblin king Hogboon seeks to claim the entire forest as his new kingdom.

It's pretty good but it has a reputation for being one of the best Old-School Essentials or Moldvay D&D starter adventures you can run, and it's not. See the audits by Beau Rancourt and ddgant. You've got missing stat blocks, wilderness encounters that are not always very interesting, unclear timeline (how long since this has started?), some unclear or incoherent situations. Encumbrance doesn't affect how likely random encounters are by the book. Lots of small issues that add up.
For an alternative, check out the free version of Hounds of Hendenburgh, which is a similar town drama-forest-dungeon affair.

It was a lot of fun to run, my players were able to slay the dragon but failed to recover any of the treasure.
