An interesting fantasy by a well know jazz critic, originally published in 1950, about a boy caught in Onir, a valley where every dream dreamt comes true. At the end, all the boys but one, poor boy who dreamed of a life much like the author's real one, escape and make their way home. The original is hard to find.
