Fictional Reunion between a Great British Statesman and his Father

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

Winston S. Churchill’s short book, The Dream was written in 1947 both as a personal yearning to see his father Lord Randolph Churchill again and as a way to get over the disappointing experience of losing his job as prime minister in the 1945 British Election just a few months after the allied victory in World War 2 in which he played an active role. it is fitting that I bought this book to observe the 25th anniversary of my father’s death in late October 1990. Even the greatest leaders yearn to reunite with their late father or mother. We all have this sort of desire in life.

Although some background in British history between 1895 and 1947 would be helpful to get a full understanding of this mysterious but fascinating imaginary conversation between Churchill and his father, it’s not really necessary since a very informative introduction written by a noted Churchill scholar is included in this book.

The Young Past Meets the Old Future

The Young Past Meets the Old Future

In the realm of English prose, I always considered Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill to be the master of the written and spoken word. After reading his excellent short story entitled "The Dream", I'm convinced of my selection.
Since I've never read a piece of fiction from the hand of Churchill, I feel as the crew of the "Starship Enterprise" of going "where no man has gone before." In Richard M. Langworth's Introduction he writes "One question about The Dream that continues to tantalize is whether the account was all fiction. When asked this question by friends who had read the story, Winston Churchill would smile and say "Not entirely."
After reading this supposed piece of fiction, I'm convinced that Winston conveys more accurate history than any work of historical fiction. This book takes on different meanings to different people of a variety of disciplines. As in all classic literature, different interpretations are revealed, sometimes with the Author's intentional knowledge and other times in the Author's subconscious. This work represents different meanings to different people. In the world of literature the more possible meanings, the more classic the work seems to appear. Like it or not, Winston has created a "classic literature" state of mind with this writing.
For instance a Psychologist reading this work would have a virtual smorgasbord in dissecting the nuances of Winston's relationship with his Father. While reading the same work an English Professor would be looking for the hidden allegorical meaning of this hypothetical meeting. Whereas the schooled Historian would smile and point to the relevance of this chance meeting as if it was an exalted lecture of historical summary. Alas, to the common man, this portrayal could represent one's longing to talk to a dear loved one who has since passed. Regardless of all his grand works of historical writings and speeches, this small work truly represents the proverbial cherry on top of a remarkable body of work.
So when Winston says this work is "not entirely" a work of fiction, it's as if he is saying "Yes Dear Reader, there are relevant facts contained herein."
