Dream Stuff

This collection of stories from David Malouf range over more than a century of Australian life, from green tropical lushness to blacksoil country, evoking dark shadows beneath a bright sun.

David Malouf's winning of the first IMPAC Dublin award for Remembering Babylon conferred belated recognition of one of the finest figures in English writing.

His string of works, both poetry and fiction, provide the reader with endless opportunities to view life from many sides.

He has, as this book shows, a particular talent for presenting the world through children's eyes. Dream Stuff is a collection of short stories mainly centred on how children perceive themselves.
