In this magically illustrated picture book by Tomie dePaola, the Fog Maiden enchants the night for two small children


In this poetic fantasy, two small children are awakened by Token, the Fog Maiden's mysterious cat, and sent into the enchanted night. In the course of their adventure, they meet an elf horse, share warm milk and honey with trolls, and attend an extravagant ball at the palace, where they watch a play with the king and queen. As night draws to a close, the Fog Maiden floats them back to their beds and kisses them asleep. The Fog Maiden's dream world is enhanced by exquisite full-color illustrations that will stir young imaginations.

      Two children go on a magical nighttime journey accompanied by the Fog Maiden's cat. "We floated / across the grass, / dancing on the dew, / and met the elf horse." They share a meal with trolls, attend a ball with crocodiles and peacocks, and watch a play before the Fog Maiden brings them home. DePaola's unique and soothing bedtime trip, illustrated in pastel tones, is now back in print.
