    About this ebook

    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.

    This fixed-layout ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book, features read-along narration by the author.
