About This Book
From the inexhaustible imagination of Ian McEwan--a master of
contemporary fiction and author of the Booker Prize-winning national
bestseller Amsterdam--an enchanting work of fiction that appeals equally
to children and adults.
First published in England as a children's book, The Daydreamer marks a
delightful foray by one of our greatest novelists into a new fictional
domain. In these seven exquisitely interlinked episodes, the grown-up
protagonist Peter Fortune reveals the secret journeys, metamorphoses,
and adventures of his childhood. Living somewhere between dream and
reality, Peter experiences fantastical transformations: he swaps bodies
with the wise old family cat; exchanges existences with a cranky infant;
encounters a very bad doll who has come to life and is out for revenge;
and rummages through a kitchen drawer filled with useless objects to
discover some not-so-useless cream that actually makes people vanish.
Finally, he wakes up as an eleven-year-old inside a grown-up body and
embarks on the truly fantastic adventure of falling in love. Moving,
dreamlike, and extraordinary, The Daydreamer marks yet another
imaginative departure for Ian McEwan, and one that adds new breadth to
his body of work.
