An imaginative tale of mystery and fear of the unknown by one of the world's most acclaimed children's books authors
Fog Island tells the story of Finn and Cara, a brother and sister whose boat drifts away to a mysterious island. ‘Stay clear of Fog Island!’ their father warned them. ‘It’s a doomed and evil place.’ One day, a thick fog rolls in and their boat is swept away by currents. In the distance, Fog Island looms over them. No one has ever returned from this island, but they discover things are not quite as they expect.
On publication, this tale of fear of the unknown was voted one of the best illustrated children’s books of the year by the New York Times and one of the best children’s picture books of the year by Publisher’s Weekly.

'It's marvellous and it's cuckoo and it's that kind of veracity that's always made for good children's literature.' – Maurice Sendak on Tomi Ungerer's work
'Tomi Ungerer has been proving the pen is mightier than the sword for six decades – [a] style marked by great originality of illustrative technique, and a use of language that refused to patronise his young readers.' – Dazed & Confused
