First Night on the Misty Isle

Illustration inspired by Neil Gaiman's novella, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains.

‘We would spend the night beneath the rock that is called Man and Dog, for it is said that it looks like an old man with his dog by his side, and I reached it late in the afternoon. There was a shelter beneath the rock, […] I made a fire and dried myself in front of it and took the chill from my bones.
The woodsmoke blew out across the heather.’

- Neil Gaiman, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains
