The first English-language edition of a surreal 1975 book by the Estonian artist Jüri Arrak (perhaps best known in the US for his work on the legendary animation Suur Tõll).

"Panga-Rehe Farmstead" is an old house where the artist and his family spent the summer.

"The days passed as wonderful summer days always do: we sunbathed, swam in the sea, hiked in the forest, and all helped to cook in the big kitchen. But every night, I had strange dreams. I believe you probably haven't had some of them yet, and that's why I wrote this book."

20-page illustrated book, 8 x 9.5 inches, saddle-stitched, printed offset in full color. 

Translated from the Estonian by Adam Cullen. Jüri Arrak (1936-2022) was an Estonian painter and graphic artist. His works are displayed in the Estonian Museum of Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Ludwig Art Museum in Cologne, Germany.
