NOTES
"The Dreamer of Dreams" was originally penned by "Marie, The Queen of Roumania," and is presented here, alongside the splendid illustrations of Edmund Dulac. The book starts with the enigmatic phrase, "And I dream in my waking dreams, and deep in the dreams of sleep" - and continues in this fantastical vein. The story tells of a beautiful young artist who dreams a pair of enchanting eyes - and gives up all his work in order to find them. The pervading pathos and melancholy of the story ensures its appeal for both adults and children, with a gentle beauty captured by Dulac's images
