Publisher Comments:

This award-winning novel by the beloved author is reissued to coincide with the hardcover release of its sequel, Poppy and Rye.

As ruler of Dimwood Forest, Ocax, the hoot owl, has promised to protect the mice occupying an abandoned farmhouse as long as they ask permission before "moving about". Poppy, a timid dormouse, is a loyal, obedient subject — until she sees Ocax devour her finace. To prove that the intimidating ruler is a phony, Poppy embarks on a dangerous and eye-opening quest, which ends with her one-on-one battle with Ocax.

Synopsis:

Poppy, a timid dormouse, is a loyal, obedient subject of Ocax, the hoot owl who rules Dimwood Forest--until she sees Ocax devour her fiance. To prove that the intimidating ruler who promised to protect mice is a phony, Poppy embarks on a dangerous and eye-opening quest, which ends with her one-on-one battle with Ocax. Winner of the "Horn Book" Award.

Synopsis:

King of the Night

At the very edge of Dimwood Forest stood an old charred oak where, silhouetted by the moon, a great horned owl sat waiting. The owls name was Mr. Ocax, and he looked like death himself. With his piercing gaze, he surveyed the lands he called his own, watching for the creatures he considered his subjects. Not one of them ever dared to cross his path. . .until the terrible night when two little mice went dancing in the moonlight. . .
