Leonora Carrington was a Surrealist painter, known for her dreamy visions of humans and animals. In English for the first time, The Milk of Dreams shows her fantastical writing and illustrations for children, sure to spark young imaginations.
Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was born in England and spent most of her adult life in Mexico City, where she participated in the Surrealist movement as an artist, painter, and novelist.
“It is a book that opens the imagination. . . . [In The Milk of
Dreams] there are two narratives: one is written and the other
is illustrated, the two converse, one with the other, and have
a strange dialogue to be discovered. This kind of story is
entertaining in a way that is increasingly hard to
find.” —Gabriel Weisz, son of Leonora Carrington
“Carrington is best known for her surrealist paintings and
sculptures, but her idiosyncratic literary legacy is equally
deserving of attention. . . their vivid imagery, irreverence,
and surreal transformations are as provocative as they were
at the time of their writing.” —Tobias Carroll, The Paris
Review
“These pages have traveled in my hands for more than twenty
reverent years. At last they arrive. . . . ” —Alejandro
Jodorowsky
