The Daydreamer

The Daydreamer is a 1994 children's novel by British author Ian McEwan. Illustrated by Anthony Browne, the book comprises seven interlinked stories about a young boy, Peter Fortune, whose daydreams place him into various fantastic situations: he discovers a cream that makes people vanish, transforms into a cat, a baby, a doll, and, in the last story, an adult. The novel was first published by Jonathan Cape.
