Unmarked text except for library markings Edge wear Corners bumped Tape over spine and boards. Greta Addington is 10 and lives in Little Valley, Nova Scotia. Unlike most in her small coastal village, she has a particular affinity for the fog. It creates hardship for the men out on the boats, and it only makes life easier for lobster poachers, but for Greta it is "like the magic spell in old fairytales" or "a magic wall she can step through." the story of Anthony is based on the real story of "Jerome" a legless, foreign man, whose body washed ashore in Sandy Cove, near Digby, in September, 1863.

Synopsis
A Newbery Honor Book. Greta had always loved the fogthe soft gray mist that rolled in from the sea and drifted over the village. The fog seemed to have a secret to tell her. Then one day when Greta was walking in the woods and the mist was closing in, she saw the dark outline of a stone house against the spruce treesa house where only an old cellar hole should have been. Then she saw a surrey come by, carrying a lady dressed in plum-colored silk. The woman beckoned for Greta to join her, and soon Greta found herself launched on an adventure that would take her back to a past that existed only through the magic of the fog.
