There are also lots of Moonbots, Moonmice, Glowworms, and Lunar Moths thrown into the mix. It is a story of self-sacrifice, unremitting kindness, and steadfast faith. How this battle between good and evil ended, I shall leave for you to discover, dear friends. He thrives on fear and chaos and nothingness. Thus, the presence of Pitch, the King of Nightmares who wanted to capture MiM and transform this baby who has never had any nightmares to be his Prince. Before there was even a Sandman, there was Nightlight who would sprinkle Dreamsand over MiM to keep him safe from nightmares.īut of course, light can not exist without darkness. The family is also able to travel quite easily from one peaceful planet to the next via Moon Clipper, their beautiful ship. Not to forget, MiM’s loyal friend Nightlight who would constantly watch over him. The book showed his beautiful loving mother who would read to him using the light of giant glowworms while his father would educate him about celestial wonders through a giant telescope. This book traces the history of the ultimate Guardian of Childhood, the Man in the Moon himself (or MiM for short) from when he was a baby, back during the Golden Age when there was nothing but hope, happiness, and shimmering dreams that glow in the dark.
