About this audiobook
Nancy Willard
Nancy Willard has loved William Blake’s poetry from the day she first heard it. While writing the poems in this book, she built a six-foot model of the inn, decorating it with moons, suns, stars, and prints of Blake’s paintings. The model with its residents—the characters that appear in this volume—stands in her living room. Nancy Willard published her first book when a high school senior—an inset in the Horn Book, which was called A Child’s Star. Formerly a lecturer in the English department at Vassar College, she is the author of a number of well-received children’s books, including Sailing to Cythera: And Other Anatole Stories and The Island of the Grass King: The Further Adventures of Anatole, both winners of a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award.

Anatole goes on a journey to help him. The soldier, Erik, explains, "It's the journeys we make for others that give us he power to change ourselves. he hardest part is getting home again, for you can't go home he way you left it."In "Sailing to Cythera," Anatole goes through the wallpaper in Grandmother's home to a land where he meets Blimlim, a monster who turns out to be not so bad.
