"Wakes: A Journey Through Time and Dreams" In the depths of slumber, Sleeping B and Lefler find themselves transported to an urban landscape. As they awaken, their eyes meet the enchanting sight of an Adelie penguin gracefully diving near an ice flow in Antarctica. The small reproduction captures a moment frozen in time. Meanwhile, in Burnley during Wakes Week, a bustling queue forms as eager travelers wait for buses to whisk them away on adventures unknown, and is a scene reminiscent of days gone by when this tradition was at its peak. Graham emerges from his deep sleep after two centuries have passed since his last waking moment. First published in 1899, his story unfolds with intrigue and wonder as he navigates through a world that has drastically changed. The Great Plague of London casts its dark shadow over history, reminding us of the fragility of life and the resilience of humanity. Suffragette Ghost Horrible Nightmare haunts our dreams, symbolizing the struggles faced by women fighting for their rights. As one dance craze fades into oblivion with Exit Tango's satire on its demise in 1914, new dances emerge to captivate our souls. Sketches of Selborne etch themselves into our minds like engravings while Gilbert White's litho transports us to Selborne - his beloved home filled with natural wonders. Curiosity leads us down unexpected paths as we uncover The Origin of Hunting the Wren - a tale shrouded in mystery and folklore. And amidst it all, Dr Syntax finds himself engraved within Ceylon's landscapes - an explorer lost yet found within intricate lines and can not just moments between sleep and wakefulness; they are portals connecting past and present, reality and imagination. They invite us to explore diverse realms where penguins dive alongside buses queuing up during Wakes Week or suffragettes haunt our nightmares while satirical dances come to an end. So, let us embrace these wakes.
