DREAM ANGUS The Celtic God of Dreams

Myths of Angus, the Celtic god of dreams, love, and joy, are joined with tenuously related stories of recent times by the Scottish author of the international hit THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY. For instance, McCall Smith tells us how Angus finds the girl he's been dreaming of. She has turned into a swan. So he becomes one, and they fly off together. Segue to bronze statues of swans before a rustic cottage inhabited by newlyweds. After the wife discovers her husband's infidelity, she begins seeing a therapist who coaches her to conjure what he calls "lucid dreams." Narrator Michael Page give a lyrical reading of the mythic sections and a rather gloomy rendering of the modern accounts. Y.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
