These tales are accompanied by the beautiful and intricate illustrations of Dugald Stewart Walker who was one of the most highly-celebrated illustrators of children's books during the early twentieth century and are best remembered for the lavish, magical realm that they frequently describe. He is perhaps best known for his illustrated edition of “Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen” (1914), but also illustrated books such as “The Boy who Knew what the Birds Said” and “Rainbow Gold - Poems Old and New”. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s classics and fairy tales – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

Children ride and glide in boats as they adventure through their dreams. From Maiqui in the Andes who sails through the constellations and greets Mighty Viracocha, to Aljuu in the Northwest coast, who floats near the shores of Haida Gwaii and adventures with Eagle, Orca, Black Bear, and her Grandmother, to Ivan in St. Petersburg who sneaks between the bony legs of Baba Yaga, "Dreamboats" takes readers into the dreams of children around the world, dreams that are filled with family and legends, culture and love. Written in lyrical prose by Dan Bar-el with gorgeous art by Kirsti Anne Wakelin, this is a book to be treasured by generations of dreamers.
