*THE INSTANT SATURDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*'Readers can't get enough of this enchanting story' The Sun
'Filled to the brim with joy' ★★★★★ 'A delightful journey into a fantasy realm where dreams make everything better' Daily Mail|| THE #1 KOREAN 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 specializes 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. ** Translated from the Korean by Sandy Joosun Lee **WATERSTONES SFF BOTM - AUGUST 2024FOYLES TRANSLATED BOOK OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER 2023DALLERGUT IN THE PRESS: 'A fantastical narrative' CNN
