A Victorian mystic sets down her own vivid dreams, doomed trains, cities of blood, enchanted women, forest cathedrals, as visions freighted with meaning.

Anna Bonus Kingsford's 1886 collection blends recorded dreams, allegorical tales, and occult philosophy from a leading esotericist and anti-vivisection campaigner. Strange, haunting, visionary. Read it for eerie dream-fantasies and symbolic stories from a remarkable figure of nineteenth-century mysticism.
