Dream Time
Toss Gascoigne
(Puffin Books)
978-0140342611, RRP £2.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
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.
