One night a boy is woken by a terrible sound. A storm is breaking, lightning flashing across the sky. In the morning Dad is gone and Mum doesn’t seem to know when he’ll be back. The next day Mum asks her son to take a cake to his sick grandma. "Don’t go into the forest," she warns. "Go the long way round." But, for the first time, the boy chooses to take the path into the forest, where he meets a variety of fairy tale characters and discovers the fate of his father.
昨晚暴風雨讓人心神不寧，好像會有不好的事情發生。果然，早上起床，爸爸就不見了！我好想念爸爸，他到哪去了呢？
媽媽請我送蛋糕給生病的奶奶，並囑咐我寧可繞遠路，也不要走入森林，但我不知怎麼的就是想走進森林…。
Anthony Browne有技巧的串聯耳熟能詳的童話故事，或是劇情有似曾相識的感覺，或是童話故事的主角直接出現在森林中與主角相遇，或在某個插畫角落發現另一童話故事的重要物件，在在都讓讀者驚嘆不已，又是一本值得收藏的大師作品！
