Customer Reviews

A rare working of literary art....

This is a book of literary magnificance! The images awake from dreams like a multitude of blossoms springing from the mind of a playful muse who leads the reader through a world of vivid images, causing mind and heart to dance in a landscape of incessant discovery. Each dance is blessedly brief, being gracious enough not to exhaust the reader with overload of the author's magnitude of ability. Indeed, Dahl's work is a mastery of refined, honed art of the uncommon sort.

Entertaining, fascinating and compelling

Mr Dahl's work evoked a sense of the familiar in me even though our dream worlds couldn't be more opposite. The pieces are interesting in themselves and can be read as entertaining short stories but I think they will speak to the reader on a sub-conscious level in a much more powerful way. It's a wonderful book and I can only say that the stories made me laugh, contemplate and remember things in my life that were experienced consciously and in my dreams, some I hadn't thought of in over 30 years. A book I will definitly re-read.
