Bjorn and Hulton trip on a rail at the Whitings train station with stars in the sky and a datura plant growing by the main rail.
Bjorn and Hulton wake up to find the smoking caterpillar waiting for them. There is a city clock falling from the sky and a Esso ga pump Bjorn is leaning against with a sky full of stars with smiles.

A trippy city with Bjorn and Hulton.

Bjorn and Hulton wake up in a strange Victorian England city scene with stars everywhere.

Hulton is riding in front the Natilus with Bjorn pulling a Fischer Price toy dog on wheels behind him on the subway tracks with a tile mosaic of a flower on the wall behind a bench near the elevator door. Now underwater, Hulton floats off the sub and Bjorn is still pulling his dog as a giant starfish watches in a star shaped kelp jungle. Bjorn and Hulton look at a pipe leading above. At the top of the pipe i a mysterious island. Hulton i seen waiting in an earlier fance French balloon for Bjorn who is just climbing down the outside of the pipe.Bjorn the Nattrol and Karl have changed into two flies and carry a block of cheese on a string up the chimney. In the next frame they fly out the top of the chimney toward the moon.The two are flying high above the island. The clouds resemble the stars and kelp in earlier pictures.All of the cloth on the balloon vanishes and the two realize it is a rocket ship as three fins protrude from the sides. Smoke and thrust explode and clod below as the race for the face of the moon above them winking.
Karl appears on the moon and hits them both with a sledge hammer and they return to normal.

Following the Harry N. Abrams, Inc. tradition of the series that created Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, we present you with what would have been the next book in the series: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong?

Trolls within Scandinavian lore, myth, saga, fantasy, and folktales are actually anything magical within our northern neighbor's culture. Richly illustrated in this volume are the tales of faeries, dwarves, nissen, huldras, gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, and more. Also, this book introduces our readers to the world of Trollheim, populated by Nattrolls that escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony within the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Narrated by Christopher Jonathan Hulton, who lives in the Thousand Acre Woods just after the Civil War, their tales are filled with Native American lore and tales of their neighbor, the Jersey Devil.
