«One foggy night, the Man in the Moon has a startling thought: when the moon is less than full and bright, who will keep children safe at night? He needs a backup plan! Or a backup Guardian, as it were. His keen eye falls upon a sleepy little fellow living on a sleepy little island who is a sweet-dreamer extraordinaire. Since good dreams always trump bad ones, this means Pitch, the Nightmare King, will be further thwarted in his nefarious quest to terrorize children. Indeed, Sanderson Mansnoozie seems the perfect choice. But there are two problems. Firstly, given that Sandy has never had a bad dream, how can MiM convince him how important this new role is to the happy-being of children everywhere? And secondly, how can MiM keep this snoozy ally awake long enough to help?»
Deuxième partie d'une chronique onirique envoûtante, celle des Guardians of Childhood, cet album vogue dans les mêmes eaux que sa genèse: un tendre voyage dans un univers pas si lointain, au coeur d'un imaginaire riche, guidé par une narration habilement évocatrice. William Joyce réussit donc à faire rêver, encore et toujours, par le biais de cette relecture vibrante des mythes de l'enfance. Son univers visuel tout doux, à la palette planante, caresse l'imagination avec finesse. Un album dans lequel on aimerait se lover, aux côtés du Sandman, par une journée grisonnante et pluvieuse, une journée aux mille rêveries...
