This adventure includes,trolls, a ball, dancing peacocks, and the meeting with a king and queen. When the evening ends, they are delivered safely home by the Fog Maiden. With signature DePaola illustrations of soft color that gives a feeling of calm, this is a gentle story from the past that introduces Tomie DePaola to a new generation of readers.
