Synopsis
Dream Children is a 1998 novel by A. N. Wilson. Owing to his own early encounters, Oliver Gold, a distinguished philosopher, has decided he can only be happy with a child, ‘a little dream lover’. Oliver, however, moves in with a widow in North London. He makes all the ladies around him fall in love with him, from the aging matriarch to a pair of lesbian lovers to a little girl named Bobs. Bobs is aged three when Oliver moves in and is aged ten by the end of the book.
