Agnes Frome (1887-1932) wrote in a gentle magic realist form she called the "Dream Story" in which elements of the fantastical and surreal intertwine with the everyday life of the child protagonists. She tells of a boy who one night climbs into an oil painting on the nursery wall to feed a horse with a green nose; a girl who stumbles upon a hidden kingdom of Arthur and his court in fog-bound London; a mysterious ragman who visits the present each day to take old clothes back to a land at the beginning of time. Eight of her dream stories are collected here. Always surprising and never obvious, Frome's dream stories will delight curious children of any age.
