This fascinating picture book journey shows in a poetic and impressive way that the night is much louder and more lively than expected. Hour by hour the night changes and shows us its true, dreamlike face. The images that emerge are magical and invite us to take a walk through a city that never sleeps. But what we are observing is so unusual that it cannot possibly be true. Or is it?
