　　小男孩讀書讀到睡著了，書頁突然翻開，遠方有陽光灑進來。書頁飛著飛著，他也踏上一塊中古世紀的土地，進入一座神奇的中古世紀城堡。主教戴了高高的帽子、騎士配有長長的劍、森林裡有可怕的妖怪。全書沒有文字，給讀者一種夢幻的安靜氛圍。讀者彷彿也做了一場夢般，進入超現實的書本世界。

作者簡介

大衛．威斯納（David Wiesner）

　　1956年出生於美國新澤西州，畢業於羅德島設計學校。擅長創作無字圖畫書，他喜歡用這種方式創造神祕夢幻的氛圍、增加讓想像力奔馳的空間。此外，讀者也更能關注圖畫裡的細節，並且加上自己的聲音與敘事道出獨一無二的故事。

　　David Wiesner has been awarded the Caldecott Medal three times, for Flotsam in 2007, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Tuesday in 1992. He has received the Caldecott Honor twice, for Sector 7 in 2000 and Free Fall in 1989. Free Fall is the first title he both authored and illustrated. His cover art now graces The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. Among many other accolades, David has been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
