A short but beautiful story about the keepers of dreams. To write a children’s book is a fine art that I believe the author executed most wonderfully.

I’m a big fan of Ingpen as an artist and particularly like to collect his illustrated editions of children’s classics. This brief original tale started life as a project to entertain his granddaughter.

There’s no real narrative to speak of; it simply describes the various tasks of the eponymous dreamkeeper, an enigmatic character responsible for capturing and returning any monsters that attempt to escape from our dreams into the real world. It’s simple yet charming, with world-building that holds real potential for further development.
