The Gate of Dreams is a collection of original fairy tales reminiscent of classic fairy tale editions and illustrated profusely in silhouette. The sympathetic characters in “The Woodcarver’s Daughter”, “Franz the Fool”, and “The Girl of the Bells,” along with the rural settings of these stories, appeal to children and recall to adults that sense of delight, recognition, suspense and wonder found in the classic tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. These stories were first suggested for publication by the revered fairy tale scholar Bruno Bettelheim.

Reviews
The Letter from Death
(July 1, ‘09 issue of BOOKLIST) “… In her fourth book, Moats performs an astonishing feat. By imagining Death as a patient and suffering entity fluent in human affairs, she broaches matters of daunting complexity with galvanizing directness. … this clarion critique offers an arresting perspective on religion, our “growing militarism,” our “inexhaustible genius for denial,” and our paradoxical failure to nurture our best qualities. … Moats has created a wise, unsettling, and beautiful book.”
Donna Seaman
Legacy of Shadows
“This book will hold its readers close and tight, will teach them its remarkable, affecting and important lesson: that experiences live and last over a family’s generations as memories that shape hearts and minds.”
Robert Coles, M.D.
Speak, Hands
“A simply fascinating read from beginning to end, Speak, Hands is intensely personal, intellectually stimulating, emotionally rewarding, and a uniquely crafted materpiece of creative non-fiction.”
Margaret Lane
Gate of Dreams
“The wonderful stories in The Gate of Dreams are for all of us – regardless of age – who need only sylphs, sprites and a little magic to trip our most precious childhood fantasies.”
