Review

“There was a special place not far from here, a place that could only
be reached on the wings of dreams. Here you could find beautiful things
that you couldn’t find anywhere else on earth. This was the land of
the unicorn, the angels and the fairy spirits; those who guarded gently
all the secrets of Earth-Mother through time; keeping her green hills
and deep oceans safe from harm. This way Earth-Mother could continue
giving life to little souls being newly born as children.”

If you are in the mood for something on the New Age spiritual side, you
will enjoy this gentle prose poem. The author, who describes herself as
a scientific mystic, gives speaking seminars on intuitive spirituality.
The plot of this book is driven by spirituality: the earth will be
rescued from its selfish path of self-destruction when all the children
of the world unite in their dreams and become a society of Vision-Peace
healers.

The illustrations are very attractive. Each panel has a near-hypnotic
iridescent quality. Together, Tesolin and Will have produced a lovely
book that will delight New Age believers and probably intrigue even
skeptics. Recommended.
