Visiting London's National Gallery, Rogers's bulb-headed boy (The Boy, the Bear, the Baron, the Bard) and the dog from Jan van Eyck's The Arnolfini Marriage time travel to seventeenth-century Delft where they end up in Vermeer's The Little Street. The sequential art in this superb, witty wordless book features fast-paced action.

In a wordless book using well-varied multiple frames, a boy enters an empty Thames-side theater in modern London and finds himself four centuries back, raising the ire of the great Bard himself by disrupting his play. The well-paced events are entertaining, the setting is atmospheric, and the characters are drawn with humor, affection, and style.
