Description

Peter Fortune is a boy who likes to daydream. He dreams about swapping bodies with his cat and with his baby cousin, but he gets so lost he's unsure where one fantasy finishes and the next begins. Cartwheeling through these transformations, Peter eventually finds himself in an adult body experiencing the adventure of falling in love.

'As far-fetched and funny as anything by Roald Dahl' Vogue
'Perfectly judged, scary, poignant, meaningful; he makes it look easy, but this is brilliantly achieved' Guardian



Re-jacketed in stunning new series style, The Daydreamer is a book of seven stories for children from Booker prize-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling Ian McEwan.

Reviews
Exhilarating * Independent *
Ian McEwan writes stories of exquisite precision and clarity * Evening Standard *
As far-fetched and funny as anything by Roald Dahl * Vogue *
Perfectly judged, scary, poignant, meaningful; he makes it look easy, but this is brilliantly achieved * Guardian *
These stories are so good, as acute about childhood preoccupations, and at times as disturbing as you would expect * Harpers & Queen *
