I intended these original fairy stories for the broadest range of readers, and have been gratified to learn how popular the book has been as a family read-aloud. The stories have not been simplified for children, since I think it is in discovering words in context that our vocabularies broaden. However, since the silhouette characters perform the stories almost as if on stage, even the youngest family members can follow the action of these stories while listening to them.
Of course, The Gate of Dreams is meant for the private enjoyment of readers of any age. Boys enjoy the stories as much as girls, and I have been pleased to hear from many men who, having once picked up the book, have found themselves moved to read from cover to cover.
