“The fox went out on a chilly night, and he prayed to the moon to give him light, for he'd many miles to go that night before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o, for he'd many miles to go that night”
Peter Spier (June 6, 1927 – April 27, 2017) was a Dutch-American illustrator and writer who created more than thirty children's books.
