Edited by Lidia Vianu

I must have been three years old when my father used to read to me a page out of Nils Holgersson every night. When I was four, I had learned how to read, and read it to myself. I felt protected by that book. It was a book about loving the others and being loved right back. Yes, I was very much at ease while reading it. This was happening around the year 1950, at a time when fear reigned in communist Romania.
Suddenly, in 2021, in the middle of bullying, and mockery and violence, I discover a book that takes me back then, to that age when I knew everything without knowing. I realize I had forgotten so much. Here I am, back in that world of love and peace: the world of C. I. Young’s Nightcreatures. Read it to your children in order to teach them what it means to feel protected by the entire universe. This book will teach both young and old readers how to live in a world of light.
