The Gate of Dreams By Lillian Moats
ISBN 978-0-9636492-1-8
Three Arts Press · January 1996
|
|
| The Gate of Dreams is a collection of original fairy tales reminiscent of classic fairy tale editions and illustrated profusely in silhouette. The sympathetic characters in "The Woodcarver's Daughter", "Franz the Fool", and "The Girl of the Bells,” along with the rural settings of these stories, appeal to children and recall to adults that sense of delight, recognition, suspense and wonder found in the classic tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. These stories were first suggested for publication by the revered fairy tale scholar Bruno Bettelheim.
For more information about The Gate of Dreams, visit the publisher's website. “If you’re looking for a beautifully illustrated book of original stories, The Gate of Dreams is your answer. Author/illustrator Lillian Somersaulter Moats has created a family keepsake volume by combining stark silhouettes with a lyrical text and unforgettable characters. Moats’ writing has an old-fashioned touch to it, and in these tales, good invariably triumphs over evil. But it doesn’t happen automatically, and readers will revel in the struggle of the heroes and heroines to find their way in a world that often seems overwhelmed by darkness.” - Karen McPherson, Children’s book Editor, Scripps-Howard News Service | ||
