The Gate of Dreams, illustrated profusely in silhouette, is reminiscent of classic fairy tale editions. Yet the three stories, which appeal to adults as well as children, are entirely new. The sympathetic characters in "The Woodcarver's Daughter", "Franz the Fool", and "The Girl of the Bells", along with the rural settings of these stories, recall to the reader that sense of delight, recognition, suspense and wonder found in the classic tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. Indeed, it was the revered fairy tale scholar Bruno Bettelheim who first suggested the publication of the fairy stories of Lillian Somersaulter Moats.

"...an excellent collection for family read-alouds, for classroom use... and for the sheer pleasure of readers of any age." -Denise Perry Donavin, Editor, American Library Association Best of the Best for Children

Commendations: The Gate of Dreams was selected for the South Carolina Children's Book Awards List for 1995. It was also chosen for The Accelerated Reader, and The Electronic Bookshelf.
