Daydreams of Angels

Omtale

Pooh Bear in prison writes a letter to the child she stole and lost. Snow White and Rose Red cut out their own risky methods of survival in occupied Paris. And a child begins the story of a Gypsy and a Bear, who have to finish it themselves. These are childrens' stories, but not as you know them. They are set not in the forests of Europe or fantasy worlds, but in the battles of World War Two and the wildernesses of modern cities. With her blazing imagination, irreverent humour and arresting prose, Heather O'Neill twists them anew: more magical for their realism, more profound for their darkness; captivating, witty and wicked.
