DallerGut Dream Department Store

The first book of Miye Lee's whimsical and moving duology, translated from the Korean language by Sandy Joosun Lee.

|| THE MAGICAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, WITH OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD ||

In a mysterious town hidden in our collective subconscious, there's a department store that sells dreams. Day and night, visitors both human and animal shuffle in to purchase their latest adventure. Each floor specialises in a specific type of dream: childhood memories, food dreams, ice skating, dreams of stardom. Flying dreams are almost always sold out. Some seek dreams of loved ones who have died.

For Penny, an enthusiastic new hire, working at the store is the opportunity of a lifetime. As she uncovers the workings of this whimsical world, she bonds with a cast of unforgettable characters, including DallerGut, the flamboyant and wise owner, Babynap Rockabye, a famous dream designer, Maxim, a nightmare producer, and the many customers who dream to heal, dream to grow, and dream to flourish.

A captivating story that will leave a lingering magical feeling in readers' minds, this is the first book in a bestselling duology for anyone exhausted from the reality of their daily life.

EARLY READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH:

'What a ride! I DEVOURED this book in one sitting!'

'There were so many more layers to this book. It's totally cute, but also clever [and] insightful!'

'I cannot wait to read the sequel, and I hope it is translated soon!'

'It was wholesome, gentle and made me smile the whole time.'

'I absolutely adored this. It's the kind of book I could read over and over again.'
