Description
Julie M. Lippmann gathers eight tales for children under the title Dreamland. The Penn Publishing Company of Philadelphia issued the book in 1914. A dedication names Lulu and Marie. The first tale, The Waking Soul, opens on Larry. He is a boy lying under trees on a hot day. He wishes first one thing and then another. Most of all, he wishes it were not so warm.
Schoolchildren pass Larry and guess he is sunstruck. Then they leave him to his daydreams. Other tales follow Betty, a white angel, and the Pied Piper's mountain. Nina's Christmas gifts close the list. In Marjorie's Miracle, a mother takes her vain little girl on her lap. She sighs that a miracle may be needed to make the girl see right. Lippmann writes gentle moral fantasy. Dreams and small wonders teach proud or lazy children to wake up kinder.
