A dreamer's treasure--beautiful art & poetry

As a journal, this book does not provide very many blank pages. As a 'cultivated dreamer's journal,' it works wonderfully well. Classic artwork decorates most pages, from Picasso to Patinir, Botticelli to Bosch(in vivid color!). These entice the reader to dream a little dream. The poems, too, are thought-provoking and inspirational.
