Despite charming illustrations by Edward Gory, I found this little story depressing. It is about a grocer's clerk who goes away to find his fantasy dreams and gets repeatedly disappointed and humiliated. While I know there are too many stories out there in which the eccentric dreamer's dreams come true, I don't enjoy being reminded how often that is false.

Flemming Flinders, a dapper greengrocer more often engrossed in a book than attuned to his turnips, dreams of adventure, fame, and fortune. When the wide-eyed Mr. Flinders finally sets out with high hopes, he finds himself living one of his fairy tales. But everyone he encounters the wart-nosed Drukamella, the beautiful young Ingaborg, and the talking crow with his nemesis, Signor Monteverdi is surely not. In Cobweb Castle, author Jan Wahl and illustrator Edward Gorey whisk readers along to watch Flemming bumble through the brambles of reality, illustrating the extent to which our imaginations can take us. Wahl's prose keeps readers privy as the adventure becomes more frenetic, but the fantasy ends nearly as it started with a swift bonk on the head. Fleming returns to his shop, dreaming.
