Grandpa is always telling tall tales, like that rabbits come out to dance in the moonlight and that a fiddler makes the Northern Lights flicker. No one else believes in Grandpa's tales, except for Henry. One night they skate up the river a long ways under the light of the aurora, and when they return home a fiddler appears at their cabin door. Could Grandpa's tales be true?

I love the illustrations in this book. The watercolors lend a dreamy aspect to the story that reflect the atmosphere perfectly. ( )

This book is about a boy who goes to live with his grandfather, who tells him stories about a fiddler who plays in the middle of the night to make the northern lights light up the sky. They go looking for them together, but in the end, he comes to them.
