Olive Schreiner 
Dreams [PDF ebook] 

It contains eleven short stories based on Schreiner's dreams and life on a farm in South Africa.
In this magical collection, abstract concepts such as love, life and truth amongst others are explained in enchanting fables that captivate and mesmerise the reader. The stories are fascinating and beautifully written in that early 20th century feel of near backwards English that writers used to have.
