Once at the family’s ancestral castle, though, Will tries again. And as he delicately adjusts his focus, suddenly his eyes tune in to a different visual frequency—the past.Looking back five hundred years is interesting . . . at first.

Whimsical illustrations bring a child’s dreams to life in this beautiful and imaginative bedtime story. Every evening when he goes to bed, the night sits at the child’s bedside and reads him a story. Some stories are sweet, others are magical, and still others are mysterious, but they all inspire his dreams as he drifts off into a peaceful good night’s sleep.

This is an unusual bed time story, featuring a father and his son. Michael, who is four, likes to keep his bedroom door open at night, "just so I can hear you talking downstairs." His father is not the kind who will say, "Don't be silly. There's nothing to worry about." Instead, he takes Michael, in pajamas and boots, on a night-time walk around a familiar neighborhood. Michael points to ant hills in the yard, and his father shows Michael where the old barn used to be, where his Dad took him once in the middle of the night to welcome a new-born calf. Maybe tomorrow Michael will sleep with his bedroom door closed.
