Marianne Dreams (Faber Children's Classics)

Marianne is no child prodigy at drawing. Confined to her bed with an illness she finds a pencil in her great-grandmother’s workbox, but the house she draws is as unsatisfying as always - like a shaky doll’s house with grass as unlike anything growing as ever. But that night she dreams and re-discovers her drawing in a completely new world. Returning to this world night after night, Marianne encounters a strange but familiar boy who joins her in an adventure that runs between reality and dream.
