The tale has been told over and
over and yet we never tire of hearing it again. The story comes to us from the
book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. It is the story of Joseph, the
eleventh son of Jacob. Because Jacob loved Joseph's mother more than all others,
he openly favored Joseph, even to the point of gifting him with the most lavish
and rare of garments--a coat of many colors. This--along with Joseph's ability
to discern the hidden, and quite often disturbing, meaning of dreams--caused his
brothers to burn with envy. They plotted to kill him, only at the last moment
deciding more profit could be had from selling him into slavery. The story of
how Joseph matures from the spoiled favorite son to a careful, prudent leader of
Egypt is filled with adventure and wonder. In the end, he meets with his
brothers in Egypt and after discerning their regret, he forgives them and is
reunited with his family once again.
The Dreamer has come to life in this
14" all-porcelain version, issued by The Lawton Doll Company in the
Treasured Tales Collection. The Dreamer is dressed in his coat of many colors,
worn over an under-garment made of coarsely woven cotton. His handmade leather
sandals lace up to his knee. He carries the sheaf of wheat he envisioned in the
dream that foreshadowed the story.
