  UPON A MIDNIGHT DREAM
  
  KATHRYN LE VEQUE
  
  
  A NOTE FROM
  
  KATHRYN LE VEQUE
  
  
  Another novella based on a poem by Edgar Allan Poe!
  
  
  This novella is based upon the ethereal poem “A Dream within a Dream”. How
  
  
  perfect that a Christmas legend based on dreaming should tie in with Poe’s
  poem
  
  
  of the great dream that is life. Like most poetry, Poe’s works can be
  interpretive
  
  
  and I chose to use this particular poem as a basis for this story.
  
  
  A grieving lady, a lost knight, a bit of a Christmastide miracle, and we have
  the
  
  
  makings for a very sweet story.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Enjoy!
  
  
  Love,
  
  
  Kathryn

  conditions, and of hunger and sickness had all brought him to this point.
  
  It was morn
