"Take the pictures you find here, and use them as places to begin your journey into stories. Wonder about them, wander through them. Let them hold your hand and whisper to you… Let them bring you into stories and make magic." --Neil Gaiman, an excerpt from the book's foreword

You’ll find magical hand-drawn illustrations—of strange lands, mystical creatures, curious animals, and intriguing characters. Ask yourself what just happened and what happens next?
