Dream Time

Jo Goodman and Margot Tyrrell
 Toss Gascoigne
(Puffin Books)
978-0140342611, RRP £2.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Dream Time: New Stories by Sixteen Award-winning Authors (Puffin Books)" on Amazon

The Children's Book Council of Australia commissioned this collection, giving the theme of 'dream time' to award-winning authors. The interpretations are far-ranging and ingenious, from Mary Steele's humorous 'Aunt Millicent' about an imaginary aunt who threatens to take over the family, to Victor Kelleher's vivid, allegorical 'River Serpent', which is surely inspired by 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', Excellent value for sixteen stories.
