Synopsis
The Gate of Dreams is reminiscent of classic fairy tale editions. Yet, the three stories, which appeal to adult s as well as children are entirely new. The sympathetic characters, along with the rural settings of these three stories, recall to the reaser a sense of delight, recognition, suspense, and wonder.

From the Publisher
"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, Scripp-Howard News Service
From the Author
The response of readers to the first edition of THE GATE OF DREAMS has been heartwarming, and I am delighted that a soft cover edition is now available.
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.
