The Dreaming Game: A Portrait of a Passionate Life

Best known as the author of the wildly innovative runaway bestseller, Pat the Bunny, Dorothy Kunhardt was not only a successful children's writer, but also a respected Lincoln scholar and biographer, and an inveterate chronicler of life. Until she died in 1979, she recorded everything about herself-her early loves, her feelings about marriage, family, career, grief, and ultimately the degeneration that age can bring to the mind and spirit. Using these records and letters, and his own research and memories, Dorothy's son gives readers a deeply moving account of a unique, passionate, and creative life well spent.
