Ian McEwan wrote a children's book?

I was shocked to learn that indeed he had. And, somehow, The Daydreamer is far from being the most twisted kids' book I've ever read.

An adult looks back on some of his most memorable daydreams. Some are quite imaginative, some are creepy, and some are pretty typical of any creative child. A collection of imaginative vignettes, The Daydreamer doesn't strive to be more than a good tale: the kind of stories told within a circle of friends.
