Translated by Bill Nagelkerke.
A boy named Finn and his dog wake to find that goblins have taken over. Boy and dog chase the sprites across twelve double-page spreads (through a garden, beneath the earth, etc.) that harbor mazes and items to find ("Finn searches for a lamp to light the way"). This seductive large-scale offering's art suggests M.C. Escher on a color bender.

On each spread of this large-format book, a block of text explains the time period depicted (from "the beginning of life" to "the 2010s" with specific civilizations in between); additional text integrated into the intricate, muted-color art provides facts. Between the finely rendered visual details and tiny type, it's easy to miss information, but patient and observant older readers will be rewarded.
