A dream in a bottle. What a sweet concept. I loved it in Roald Dahl’s book, The BFG, but what I love even more is that a little girl made her very own dream in a bottle and sent it to Mr. Dalh.

Letters of Note, an amazing site that posts all kinds of neat letters, has the story here. Here is Mr. Dahl’s reply to little Amy, written as simply and beautifully as every one of his magical stories.
