==Overview== The album contains 10 songs, including the hits "[[Morning Has Broken]]", "[[Moonshadow (song)|Moonshadow]]" and "[[Peace Train]]". It is also the title of a children's book written and illustrated by Stevens. The story features the title characters from the album cover, top-hatted young Teaser and his pet, Firecat, who attempt to put the moon back in its place after it falls from the sky. Published in 1972, the book has been out of print since the mid-1970s. The album was a commercial success, surpassing the heights achieved by Stevens' previous album, ''[[Tea for the Tillerman]]'', reaching both the [[UK Albums Chart|UK]] and [[Billboard 200|US]] top 3 and also spending fifteen weeks at the top of the [[ARIA Charts|Australian]] charts, becoming the biggest-selling album of the country in 1972. In 1977 an animated version, narrated by comedian [[Spike Milligan]], using the song "Moonshadow", was a segment in ''[[Fantastic Animation Festival]]''. In November 2008, a "deluxe edition" was released featuring a second disc of demos and live recordings. English keyboardist [[Rick Wakeman]] played piano on "[[Morning Has Broken]]" and English musician [[Linda Lewis]] contributed vocals on "How Can I Tell You".
