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 with each 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. Her vivid imagery, irreverence, and surreal transformations are as provocative as they were at the time of her writing. -Tobias Carroll, The Paris Review

These pages have traveled in my hands for more than twenty reverent years. At last they arrive.
