The Book of Small Unimportant Essential Beings written from notes taken by Milena Nonó and the field sketchbooks of Doctor Phantasticus, and compiled by Milena always at night, always by moonlight.
Who makes you think of your significant other at the very same time that (s)he’s thinking of you?
Who puts the dewdrops on the flowers before the sun comes up?
Who visits us at night and ruffles our hair while we sleep?
A beautiful bestiary of magical characters like nothing you’ve ever seen before. And this is the whole point: no one has ever seen them, even though they are involved with the most commonplace events of your life.
The delicate illustrations, the reinvented universe and the poetic sensibility of the text make this book a perfect gift for readers of all ages.

How many fingers have you got? And wings?
