A girl dreams she can meet a fairy at a lake who tells her stories about her brother who has died. The boy is kept alive in her memory. 

Translated from Norwegian, the text was as abstract as the art. I had a really hard time figuring out what was going on. I suppose it explores grief and dreams, but this is quite an odd book.
