A Newbery Honor Book. Greta had always loved the fog—the 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 trees—a 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.

The ad was sketchy. Mountain cabin available-Aug, Sept, Oct. Isolated, not remote. Close enough to town to be convenient. Lake view. Baldwin Realty and a telephone number. But it was exactly what Phoebe McFannin, mystery novelist, had in mind. She was so tired of her neighbors noisy grandchildren. The air conditioning didnt cool her entire apartment. Summer was becoming unbearable. Phoebe signed the three-month lease and moved into the little mountain cabin on August 1st. Hopefully, being away from the city noise and heat would give her the energy to meet the mid-September deadline of the fi rst ten chapters of her latest book. The cabin appeared to be everything Phoebe had hoped. The view of the lake was beautiful. The mountain air was refreshing. It was isolated, it was quiet, it was cool. What she didnt know, it was haunted.

Over the course of nineteen essays, Alan Watts ("a spiritual polymatch, the first and possibly greatest" —Deepak Chopra) ruminates on the philosophy of nature, ecology, aesthetics, religion, and metaphysics. Assembled in the form of a “mountain journal,” written during a retreat in the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, CA, Cloud-Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown is Watts’s meditation on the art of feeling out and following the watercourse way of nature, known in Chinese as the Tao. Embracing a form of contemplative meditation that allows us to stop analyzing our experiences and start living in to them, the book explores themes such as the natural world, established religion, race relations, karma and reincarnation, astrology and tantric yoga, the nature of ecstasy, and much more.
